'may return school food' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'may return school' is the wordplay.
'return' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'school' becomes 'S'.
'may' reversed gives 'yam'.
'yam'+'s'='YAMS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yams that I've seen before include "Roots" , "vegetables" , "Edible tubers from the tropics" , "Sweet potatoes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
