I believe the answer is:

pasta

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

'food' is the definition.
(pasta is a kind of food)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pasta that I've seen before include "Macaroni, for example" , "Eg, tagliatelle" , "Basis for serving" , "eg Tortellini" , "dish from Italy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
