Some foodie selection provides fuel for our energy requirements (6)
I believe the answer is:
diesel
'fuel for our energy requirements' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'some foodie selection provides' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'DIESEL' is hidden in the letters of 'foodie selection provides'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diesel that I've seen before include "Train perhaps" , "Type of fuel oil" , "Common fuel for heavy vehicles" , "Motor fuel" , "Fuel used by heavy vehicles" .)
