Thoughts of French composer about food being limited? (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deliberations

'thoughts' is the definition.
(deliberation is a kind of thought)

'french composer about food being limited?' is the wordplay.
'french composer' becomes 'delibes' (Lo Delibes, 1836-1891).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'food being limited?' becomes 'ration' (rationed food).
'delibes' going around 'ration' is 'DELIBERATIONS'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Another definition for deliberations that I've seen is " Formal discussions".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
