Cracker spread (4)
I believe the answer is:
pate
'cracker spread' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pate that I've seen before include "Meat paste, may be de fois gras" , "Tape around tasty meat paste" , "Meat paste, maybe de fois gras" , "Tape for a head" , "Tasty meat paste, perhaps foie gras" .)
