Dish father consumed in station after travelling (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antipasto

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

'father consumed in station after travelling' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'consumed in' is an insertion indicator.
'after travelling' indicates an anagram (back).
'station' with letters rearranged gives 'antisto'.
'pa' inserted within 'antisto' is 'ANTIPASTO'.

(Other definitions for antipasto that I've seen before include "hors-d'oeuvre" , "dishes" , "Italian appetisers" , "garnish!" , "Appetizers in an Italian meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
