'go for' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'food at the beginning eat in' is the wordplay.
'at the beginning' indicates taking the first letters.
'eat in' becomes 'etch' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
The initial letter of 'food' is 'f'.
'f'+'etch'='FETCH'

(Other definitions for fetch that I've seen before include "Go and bring back" , "Order to dog to retrieve thrown stick" , "Collect" , "Sell for" , "double" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
