finger buffet

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

'meal' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'little bit of drink with polish and gallic' is the wordplay.
'little bit of drink' becomes 'finger' (finger can mean a small alcoholic drink).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'polish' becomes 'buff' (buffing is a kind of polishing).
'and gallic' becomes 'et' ('and' in French).
'finger'+'buff'+'et'='FINGER BUFFET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for finger buffet that I've seen before include "where food can be picked up" , "sandwiches, say" , "Party food" , "Snacks" .)
