German chap wants food selection loaded (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dietrich

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'german chap' is the definition.
'Dietrich' can be an answer for 'chap'. I'm unsure of the 'german' bit.

'food selection loaded' is the wordplay.
'food selection' becomes 'diet' (I've seen this in another clue).
'loaded' becomes 'rich' (similar in meaning).
'diet'+'rich'='DIETRICH'

'wants' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dietrich that I've seen before include "FILMSTAR" , "Marlene . . . . . . . . was a famous film star" , "Marlene ... old film star" , "Marlene -, German actress" , "Marlene . . . . . . . ., late German star of stage and screen" .)
