Hunt for food in different caves around England (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scavenge

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

'hunt for food in' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'different caves around england' is the wordplay.
'different' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'england' becomes 'eng' (abbreviation).
'caves' is an anagram of 'scave'.
'scave' placed around 'eng' is 'SCAVENGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scavenge that I've seen before include "Collect discarded food" , "Clean up" , "Take from the rubbish" , "Forage in rubbish" , "pick up what's discarded" .)
