Fat queen where food is kept (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

larder

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

'where food is kept' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'fat queen' is the wordplay.
'fat' becomes 'lard' (lard is a kind of fat).
'queen' becomes 'ER' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth).
'lard'+'er'='LARDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for larder that I've seen before include "Place where food is kept" , "Stock of provisions" , "Pantry" , "room off kitchen?" , "Person applying grease" .)
