United in support of fellows making food offering (4)

I believe the answer is:

menu

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

'food offering' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'united in support of fellows' is the wordplay.
'united' becomes 'u'.
'in support of' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'fellows' becomes 'men' (I've seen this before).
'u' put after 'men' is 'MENU'.

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for menu that I've seen before include "Choice of dishes" , "restaurant guide" , "List of items available in restaurant (4)" , "list of available courses" , "List of (computer or food) items" .)
