Meal of a sort circulating in large belly (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pot roast

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

'meal' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a sort circulating in large belly' is the wordplay.
'circulating' indicates an anagram.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'large belly' becomes 'pot' (as in a pot belly).
'a'+'sort'='asort'
'asort' anagrammed gives 'troas'.
'troas' inserted inside 'pot' is 'POT-ROAST'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pot roast that I've seen before include "joint preparation" , "Dish of braised meat" , "Slowly cooked meat" , "Meat cooked in a container" .)
