Edible snail (8)
I believe the answer is:
escargot
'edible snail' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for escargot that I've seen before include "Hardly fast food" , "French delicacy" , "slow food?" , "Got scare from edible French snail" , "An edible snail from France" .)
