'got on' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with the comestibles at the trading centre' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the comestibles at' becomes 'fare' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'centre' means to look at the middle letters.
The centre of 'trading' is 'd'.
'fare'+'d' is 'FARED'.
