Put an end to urge for food (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scotch egg

'food' is the definition.
(Scotch egg is an example)

'put an end to urge' is the wordplay.
'put an end' becomes 'scotch' (I've seen this before).
'to urge' becomes 'egg' (I've seen this before).
'scotch'+'egg'='SCOTCH EGG'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for scotch egg that I've seen before include "Savoury rolled food item" , "Snack made largely of sausage meat" , "Oval food, mainly sausage meat" , "Savoury snack" , "Hard-boiled item in sausage meat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
