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

'take' is the definition.
(I know this)

'meals prepared around park' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'park' becomes 'P' (abbreviation as on an automatic car's gear lever).
'meals' is an anagram of 'samle'.
'samle' going around 'p' is 'SAMPLE'.

'your pick of' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sample that I've seen before include "Take" , "Small part used to represent the whole" , "A specimen of maples" , "instance" , "Drop of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
