Scottish food given by witch to American soldiers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haggis

'scottish food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'by witch to american soldiers' is the wordplay.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'witch' becomes 'hag' (synonyms).
'to american soldiers' becomes 'GIs' (GI is an informal term for a US soldier).
'hag' put next to 'gis' is 'HAGGIS'.

'given' is the link.

(Other definitions for haggis that I've seen before include "Dish served piping" , "Hi gags about traditional Scottish dish" , "Indonesian island; computer language" , "Robert Burns' "Great chieftain o' the puddin'-race"" , "traditional meal" .)
