'cut short by party' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'one of the greens produced a singer's recording' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'recording' could be 'cd' (CD is an example) and 'cd' is located in the remaining letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'that's' acts as a link.
