Scandinavian food tucked into by a knight on board (6)
I believe the answer is:
danish
'scandinavian' is the definition.
(Danish is an example)
'food tucked into by a knight on board' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'dish' (dish is a kind of food).
'tucked into by' indicates putting letters inside.
'knight on board' becomes 'N' (chess abbreviation for knight).
'a'+'n'='an'
'dish' going around 'an' is 'DANISH'.
(Other definitions for danish that I've seen before include "Relating to one from Copenhagen, say" , "Scandinavian language" , "Native to Copenhagen" , "Popular piece of pastry" , "Like Hans Andersen" .)
