camembert

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

'food' is the definition.
(Camembert is an example)

'camel almost married albert' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'married' becomes 'm'.
'albert' becomes 'bert' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'camel' with its last letter taken off is 'came'.
'came'+'m'+'bert'='CAMEMBERT'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
