Substance from Istanbul kiosk (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulk

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

'substance' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'from istanbul kiosk' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'BULK' is hidden in the letters of 'istanbul kiosk'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulk that I've seen before include "Amplitude" , "Mass - large quantity" , "Great size; main part" , "Majority" , "Large mass; roughage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
