Dishes a world away, fine for the Springboks? (7,6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

7

7,6

'the springboks?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'dishes a world away fine' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'world' is 'wldor' which is located in the left over letters.
'fine' could be 'f' (abbreviation) and 'f' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for waldorf that I've seen before include "And 5 ac: cold dish" , "Vegetarian dish of celery, apples, walnuts and mayonnaise" , "Celery, apple, etc. salad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
