A bone can provide plenty to eat! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beano

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

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

'a bone can' is the wordplay.
'can' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'canned' mean this (canned can mean drunk)).
'a'+'bone'='abone'
'abone' anagrammed gives 'BEANO'.

'provide' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beano that I've seen before include "Celebration" , "Kids' comic" , "Comic - party" , "Comic and informal get-together" , "Informal party" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
