Counters offering cooked food (5)
I believe the answer is:
chips
'counters' is the definition.
(I know this)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chips that I've seen before include "What one eats" , "Fries; golf shots" , "carpenter" , "Potato pieces fried in deep fat" , "Silicon computer components" .)
