'crumbs get tangled up in it?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'can bread' is the wordplay.
'can' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'canned' mean this (canned can mean drunk)).
'bread' with letters rearranged gives 'BEARD'.

(Other definitions for beard that I've seen before include "Hair on the chin" , "In good health; very" , "hair extension" , "Whiskers" , "Facial growth" .)
