Gone on central Iraqi food (5)
I believe the answer is:
pasta
'food' is the definition.
(I know that pasta is a type of food)
'gone on central iraqi' is the wordplay.
'gone' becomes 'past' (similar in meaning).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'central' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'iraqi' is 'a'.
'past'+'a'='PASTA'
(Other definitions for pasta that I've seen before include "Eg, tagliatelle" , "Penne, rigatoni etc" , "dish that's Italian" , "Dried flour paste, staple in Italian food" , "Fare from Italy" .)
