Home let - tenant brings in food (8)
I believe the answer is:
omelette
'food' is the definition.
(omelette is a kind of food)
'home let tenant brings in' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'OMELETTE' is hidden in the letters of 'home let tenant brings'.
(Other definitions for omelette that I've seen before include "One takes beating" , "Egg-based dish" , "Beaten-egg dish" , "something tasty" , "Dish of beaten eggs, often with filling" .)
