Moi? at dance, starting to scoff rissoles? (9)

I believe the answer is:

meatballs

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

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

'moi? at dance starting to scoff' is the wordplay.
'moi?' becomes 'me' (French, and used for comic effect in English).
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'starting to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'scoff' is 's'.
'me'+'at'+'ball'+'s'='MEATBALLS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meatballs that I've seen before include "Food - stale lamb (anag)" , "dish?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
