Food breaks rejected? It will be reviewed after the riots (9)
I believe the answer is:
spaghetti
'food' is the definition.
(spaghetti is a kind of food)
'breaks rejected? it will be reviewed after the riots' is the wordplay.
'breaks' becomes 'gaps' ('gap' can be a synonym of 'break'**).
'rejected?' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'will be reviewed' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (review can mean to look back on).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'riots' indicates an anagram.
'gaps' written backwards gives 'spag'.
'it' backwards is 'ti'.
'the' anagrammed gives 'het'.
'ti' after 'het' is 'hetti'.
'spag'+'hetti'='SPAGHETTI'
(Other definitions for spaghetti that I've seen before include "Italian dish made from pasta, often Bolognese" , "Pasta - Birmingham's junction" , "Birmingham interchange" , "Type of pasta" , "Strange tight peas for the Italian dish" .)
