Ross

I believe the answer is:

bangers and mash

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

'which meal associates' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'fireworks with flirtation?' is the wordplay.
'fireworks' becomes 'bangers' (banger is a kind of firework).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'flirtation?' becomes 'mash' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bangers'+'and'+'mash'='BANGERS AND MASH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bangers and mash that I've seen before include "That's for popular consumption" , "course" , "Grub" , "Sausage dish" , "Simple dish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
