Turn to cleaner for a snack (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rollmop

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

'a snack' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'turn to cleaner' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of turn).
'to cleaner' becomes 'mop' (something which 'cleans').
'roll'+'mop'='ROLLMOP'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rollmop that I've seen before include "Pickled herring wrapped around onion slices" , "Food" , "swimmer that's soused" , "savoury dish" , "Fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
