Nonsense to me, lines describing fruit dish (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tomfoolery

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

'nonsense' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'to me lines describing fruit dish' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' is within the answer.
'lines' could be 'ry' (abbreviation for railway) and 'ry' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tomfoolery that I've seen before include "Silly behaviour" , "Nonsense" , "Acting stupidly" , "Craziness" , "Silliness" .)
