International dish makes us hiccup internally (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sushi

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

'international dish' is the definition.
'sushi' can be an answer for 'dish' (sushi is a kind of dish). I am not sure about the 'international' bit.

'makes us hiccup internally' is the wordplay.
'internally' indicates a hidden word.
'SUSHI' is hidden within 'makes us hiccup'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "Japanese vinegared rice dish" , "'Dish of rice, vegetables and raw fish (5)'" , "Japanese cuisine" , "rice dishes" , "Rice and raw fish wrapped in seaweed" .)
