I believe the answer is:

tapioca

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food' is the definition.
(tapioca is a kind of food)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tapioca that I've seen before include "Starch from cassava used in making puddings" , "dessert" , "Starchy dish" , "it thickens" , "Substance from cassava used to thicken puddings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
