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

'one might get food by filling' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'hot jacket potato finally ordered selection' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'selection' becomes 'pick' (synonyms).
The last letters of 'jacket potato' are 'to'.
'hot'+'to'='hotto'
'hotto' with letters rearranged gives 'tooth'.
'tooth'+'pick'='TOOTHPICK'

Can you help me to learn more?
