Girl in France has time for piece of meat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fillet

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

'piece of meat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl in france has time for' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'fi' (nickname for Fiona).
'in france' becomes 'et' (I've seen this in other clues).
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time for' becomes 'll' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'et' put after 'll' is 'llet'.
'fi'+'llet'='FILLET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fillet that I've seen before include "Piece of tender boneless meat" , "Choice piece of boneless meat (6)" , "Remove bones of (fish)" , "Remove bone from (meat or fish)" , "round head?" .)
