Heading west, Spanish artist almost damaged culture (7)
I believe the answer is:
yoghurt
'culture' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'heading west spanish artist almost damaged' is the wordplay.
'heading west' says the letters should be written backwards.
'spanish artist' becomes 'goya' (I've seen this before).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'damaged' becomes 'hurt' (similar in meaning).
'goya' with its final letter taken away is 'goy'.
'goy' written backwards gives 'yog'.
'yog'+'hurt'='YOGHURT'
(Other definitions for yoghurt that I've seen before include "Semi-liquid food" , "Curdled milk-food" , "Food made from curdled milk" , "Health food" , "spoiled dairy product" .)
