Criticise attempt to produce food store (6)
I believe the answer is:
pantry
'food store' is the definition.
(cupboard for storing food)
'criticise attempt to' is the wordplay.
'criticise' becomes 'pan' (informal term meaning to criticise heavily).
'attempt to' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pan'+'try'='PANTRY'
'produce' is the link.
(Other definitions for pantry that I've seen before include "Kitchen storeroom" , "Room off the kitchen" , "Food store" , "Type of larder" , "Store cupboard" .)
