It's not as complicated as you make it out. I made this clue follow proper cryptic clue structure. That means, the straight clue is at one of the ends and there may or may not be "directional" words (eg: after, between, etc - words that tell you the order in which the answers to the clues come). And
foreign here is just your basic foreign. Outlandish. French. Italian. Japanese. Rwandan. Take your pick.
