See bishop abandoning blessing for food (7)

I believe the answer is:

venison

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

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

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for venison that I've seen before include "Flesh of deer" , "Game" , "Deer meat" , "Meat - in ovens (anag)" , "Type of meat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
