Tangy pie ordered for someone from Cairo? (8)

I believe the answer is:

egyptian

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

'from cairo?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tangy pie ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'tangy'+'pie'='tangypie'
'tangypie' anagrammed gives 'EGYPTIAN'.

'for someone' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egyptian that I've seen before include "NE African" , "Tiny page, oddly, for the nationality" , "Nationality of a Pharaoh" , "Like a type of goose" , "Language of the pharaohs" .)
