I yell audibly for food from the freezer (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ice cream

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

'the freezer' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'i yell audibly for food' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
'food' could be 'ice' (ice is a kind of food) and 'ice' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ice cream that I've seen before include "99, for example" , "dessert will appear" , "Eric came to get confection" , "Party food" , "interval treat required?" .)
