We slink around getting things to eat (7)

I believe the answer is:

winkles

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

'things to eat' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'we slink around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'we'+'slink'='weslink'
'weslink' anagrammed gives 'WINKLES'.

'getting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
