Hurry after some food: a habit in Arab world (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dishdasha

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

'habit in arab world' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'hurry after some food a' is the wordplay.
'hurry' becomes 'dash' (dash is a kind of hurry).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'some food' becomes 'dish' (dish is a kind of food).
'dash' after 'dish' is 'dishdash'.
'dishdash'+'a'='DISHDASHA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for dishdasha that I've seen is " one-piece not made for her".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
