Food chain deal founders (9)
I believe the answer is:
enchilada
'food' is the definition.
(enchilada is a kind of food)
'chain deal founders' is the wordplay.
'chain deal' anagrams to 'ENCHILADA'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enchilada that I've seen before include "spicy titbit" , "Mexican food" , "Tortilla and chilli dish" , "Hot food" , "spicy food" .)
