Spaghetti or vermicelli, for example (5)
I believe the answer is:
pasta
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'spaghetti' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'vermicelli for example' is the second definition.
(vermicelli is a kind of pasta)
(Other definitions for pasta that I've seen before include "Spaghetti, ziti, fusilli, for example" , "Italian dough" , "Tapas (anag)" , "Staple Italian food base" , "Fare from Italy" .)
