I believe the answer is:

hamper

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

This could be a double definition.

'foil food' is the first definition.
'hamper' can be an answer for 'foil' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'food' bit.

'container?' is the second definition.
(hamper is a kind of container)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hamper that I've seen before include "Hinder; basket" , "big basket" , "Kind of food basket, maybe for picnic" , "Impede the movement" , "Hold up in a basket?" .)
