Food tent includes game counter (6)
I believe the answer is:
yogurt
'food' is the definition.
(yogurt is a kind of food)
'tent includes game counter' is the wordplay.
'tent' becomes 'yurt' (I've seen this in other clues).
'includes' is an insertion indicator.
'game' becomes 'go' (go is a board game).
'counter' says the letters should be written backwards (counter can mean in the opposite direction).
'go' written backwards gives 'og'.
'yurt' enclosing 'og' is 'YOGURT'.
(Other definitions for yogurt that I've seen before include "Cultured fare" , "dessert?" , "Food made from fermented milk" , "Milk-food" , "Milk-derived food" .)
