Spit in the food? (6)
I believe the answer is:
skewer
'spit in the food?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for skewer that I've seen before include "The heart of kebab" , "Run through" , "Is one stuck into a joint" , "Pin for roasts" , "Spear" .)
