I ask for a bun, rambling in the country (7,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burkina faso

'country' is the definition.
(Burkina Faso is an example)

'i ask for a bun rambling' is the wordplay.
'rambling' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'ask'+'for'+'a'+'bun'='iaskforabun'
'iaskforabun' with letters rearranged gives 'BURKINA-FASO'.

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for burkina faso that I've seen before include "state" , "Western African country, formerly Upper Volta" , "West African country -- a UK Boris fan (anag)" , "Old French colony" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
