Food so-so, from what's said (4)
I believe the answer is:
fare
'food' is the definition.
(fare is a kind of food)
'so-so from what's said' is the wordplay.
'so-so' becomes 'fair' (I've seen this before).
'from what's said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'fair' is a homophone of 'FARE'.
(Other definitions for fare that I've seen before include "Food for the table" , "Cost of travel" , "What traveller pays" , "Menu" , "Amount charged" .)
