Dainty from food shop Charlie consumed (8)
I believe the answer is:
delicate
'dainty' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'food shop charlie consumed' is the wordplay.
'food shop' becomes 'deli' (short for delicatessen).
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'consumed' becomes 'ate' (to eat is to consume food).
'deli'+'c'+'ate'='DELICATE'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for delicate that I've seen before include "Fine and dainty" , "Not robust" , "Fragile, fine-textured" , "Exquistley fine or easily damaged" , "Exquisite; needing tactful handling" .)
