Maori can order some food (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

macaroni

'some food' is the definition.
(macaroni is a kind of food)

'maori can order' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'maori'+'can'='maorican'
'maorican' is an anagram of 'MACARONI'.

(Other definitions for macaroni that I've seen before include "Slender tubes of pasta" , "With which one tube-feeds" , "Pasta variety, eighteenth century dandy" , "Alternative to 31 [TORTELLINI]" , "penguin?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
