meatless

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

'type of set meals suitable for vegetarians' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'type of set meals' is the wordplay.
'type of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'type' mean this).
'set'+'meals'='setmeals'
'setmeals' anagrammed gives 'MEATLESS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meatless that I've seen before include "like Friday, perhaps" , "wanting some beef?" , "Vegetarian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
