Meal drama - terrible breakfast food? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marmalade

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

'breakfast food?' is the definition.
'marmalade' can be an answer for 'food?' (marmalade is a kind of food). I'm not sure about the 'breakfast' bit.

'meal drama terrible' is the wordplay.
'terrible' is an anagram indicator.
'meal'+'drama'='mealdrama'
'mealdrama' with letters rearranged gives 'MARMALADE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for marmalade that I've seen before include "group?" , "Kind of cat" , "confiture" , "Breakfast preserve" , "Orange jam" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
