Very good English dish (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pie

'dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'very good english' is the wordplay.
'very good' becomes 'pi' (I've seen this in other clues).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'pi'+'e'='PIE'

(Other definitions for pie that I've seen before include "In the sky, it's a hopeless idea" , "Easy thing" , "Anna's constituent" , "Small, former coin of India" , "Pastry product" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
