I believe the answer is:

edam

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreign cheese' is the definition.
'Edam' can be an answer for 'cheese' (Edam is an example). I'm unsure of the 'foreign' bit.

'english mad about' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'mad' reversed gives 'dam'.
'e'+'dam'='EDAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Made into a nice cheese" , "Cheese made badly" , "Dutch 8 across" , "Dutch market town famous for its cheese" , "Madeinto popular cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
