Pasta turned out to be fare from another country (5)
I believe the answer is:
tapas
'fare from another country' is the definition.
'tapas' can be an answer for 'fare' (I have seen 'Spanish food' mean 'tapas' so perhaps 'food' could also mean 'tapas'). I'm not certain of the 'from another country' bit.
'pasta turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' indicates anagramming the letters (turn out can mean to organise).
'pasta' anagrammed gives 'TAPAS'.
'to be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tapas that I've seen before include "Spanish bites?" , "What's served in Spanish bar" , "sort of Spanish bar" , "Savoury snacks" , "Spanish appetisers" .)
