I believe the answer is:

indelicate

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

'rude' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in food shop provide grub not right' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
'food' could be 'cat' (cat food is a kind of food) and 'cat' is found within the answer.
'shop' could be 'deli' (delicatessen) and 'deli' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
