Food and board surrounded by endless comfort (8)
I believe the answer is:
eatables
'food' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'board surrounded by endless comfort' is the wordplay.
'board' becomes 'table' ('table' can be a synonym of 'board').
'surrounded by' indicates putting letters inside.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'comfort' becomes 'ease' (easing is a kind of comforting).
'ease' with its last letter taken off is 'eas'.
'table' placed within 'eas' is 'EATABLES'.
'and' is the link.
(Another definition for eatables that I've seen is " food!".)
