I see from another thread that it's 6,5 so yours fits
I also see that we're looking for food and drink related answers.

1)how does that answer relate to the q?
2)how does it relate to food?

In reverse order:
2 A Jeelie (or Jeely) Piece is a Scottish term for a Jam Sandwich
1 Th song is about not being able to throw a sandwich from the window to your child (a common practice in Glasgow, apparently) from high up in a block of flats.

I didn't understand the answer, but on looking up the lyrics it's a Scottish song about throwing sandwiches from the 20th floor

It's spelt JEELY on the sites I've seen though

I wouldn't have known it even if I'd known the letter count and food theme. We learn something every day on AB
