wished

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

'longed for' is the definition.
'wished' can be an answer for 'longed' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'for' bit.

'unusual dish we' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'dish'+'we'='dishwe'
'dishwe' with letters rearranged gives 'WISHED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wished that I've seen before include "Hoped" , "Felt a desire" , "Desired" .)
