Select the French relish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pickle

'relish' is the definition.
(pickle is a kind of relish)

'select the french' is the wordplay.
'select' becomes 'pick' (picking is a kind of selecting**).
'the french' becomes 'le'.
'pick'+'le'='PICKLE'

(Other definitions for pickle that I've seen before include "Relish, difficult situation" , "Preserve; mess" , "tight spot" , "Chutney, relish, salsa etc" , "Solution for preserving food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
