Special issue arisen around cover of 'Hindu Meals' (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nosh-ups

'meals' is the definition.
(nosh-up is a kind of meal)

'special issue arisen around cover of hindu' is the wordplay.
'special' becomes 'sp' ().
'issue' becomes 'son' (issue can mean someone's offspring).
'arisen' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'arising' mean this).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'cover of' means to remove the middle letters (I've seen 'covers of' mean this).
'hindu' with its middle taken out is 'hu'.
'sp'+'son'='spson'
'spson' in reverse letter order is 'nosps'.
'nosps' going around 'hu' is 'NOSH-UPS'.
