Money for travel and food (4)

I believe the answer is:

fare

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

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

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for fare that I've seen before include "What traveller pays" , "Charge for travelling on train or bus" , "Payment for journey" , "Cost of travel" , "Charge for journey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
