Friend has a selection of food that's tasty (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palatable

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

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

'friend has a selection of food' is the wordplay.
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal can mean a friend).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'selection of food' becomes 'table' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pal'+'a'+'table'='PALATABLE'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palatable that I've seen before include "Tasty" , "Of food, tasting nice; of idea, acceptable" , "good to eat" , "pleasing" , "Pleasant to the taste, acceptable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
