Hint limits one getting wrong kind of food (7)

I believe the answer is:

cuisine

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

'kind of food' is the definition.

'hint limits one getting wrong' is the wordplay.
'hint' becomes 'cue' (I've seen this before).
'limits' means one lot of letters goes inside another (limit can mean to contain or block off).
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'getting wrong' becomes 'sin' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i'+'sin'='isin'
'cue' placed around 'isin' is 'CUISINE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
