'poses quandary' is the definition.
'dilemma' can be an answer for 'quandary' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'poses' bit.

'mid-meal disturbance' is the wordplay.
'disturbance' indicates an anagram.
'mid'+'meal'='midmeal'
'midmeal' anagrammed gives 'DILEMMA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dilemma that I've seen before include "embarrassment" , "Unpalatable choice" , "Difficulty (with two choices?)" , "Difficult choice; quandary" , "doubtful state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
