cheese

'last course' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'see off revolutionary before' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'revolutionary' becomes 'Che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'see' anagrammed gives 'ese'.
'ese' after 'che' is 'CHEESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cheese that I've seen before include "Roquefort, perhaps" , "Eg Edam" , "Caerphilly" , "Edam, Brie, Cheddar..." , "Eg, cheddar" .)
