Exotic food brings celebrity benefit (9)
I believe the answer is:
starfruit
'exotic food' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'celebrity benefit' is the wordplay.
'celebrity' becomes 'star' (a star is a celebrity or famous person).
'benefit' becomes 'fruit' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'star'+'fruit'='STARFRUIT'
'brings' acts as a link.
