irish stew

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

'traditional dish' is the definition.
'irish stew' can be an answer for 'dish' (Irish stew is an example). I am not certain of the 'traditional' bit.

'this wire's tossed' is the wordplay.
'tossed' indicates an anagram.
'this'+'wires'='thiswires'
'thiswires' anagrammed gives 'IRISH STEW'.

'in' is the link.
