Is training able to accommodate a tasty morsel? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canape

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

'tasty morsel?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'is training able to accommodate a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'training' could be 'pe' (short for Physical Education) and 'pe' is found in the answer.
'able' could be 'can' and 'can' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for canape that I've seen before include "Cocktail delicacy" , "bite to eat" , "Small savoury on toast or bread" , "Party snack" , "Small savoury item" .)
