Dad has soft food (3)
I believe the answer is:
pap
I believe this is a double definition.
'dad' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'soft food' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'has' is the link.
(Other definitions for pap that I've seen before include "Bland soft food" , "Mushy food for children or invalids" , "Palindromic food for infants" , "mindless entertainment" , "Dog with a camera" .)
