Rising flatulence, tucking into street food (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lasagne

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

'food' is the definition.
(lasagne is a kind of food)

'rising flatulence tucking into street' is the wordplay.
'rising' says the letters should be written in reverse (going up in a down clue).
'flatulence' becomes 'gas' (I've seen this in another clue).
'tucking into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'street' becomes 'lane' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'gas' written backwards gives 'sag'.
'sag' put within 'lane' is 'LASAGNE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lasagne that I've seen before include "Baked pasta dish" , "Course" , "Layered pasta dish" , "Eat this as angel" , "Flat sheets of pasta" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
