noodle

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

I believe this is a quadruple definition!!

'stupid' is the first definition.
(both can mean a stupid person)

'person' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'offering' acts as a link.

'a bit' is the third definition.
(I have seen 'bit of pasta' mean 'noodle' so perhaps 'bit' could also mean 'noodle')

'of' is a link.

'food' is the fourth definition.
(noodle is a kind of food)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for noodle that I've seen before include "Slangy head or pasta strip" , "strip in the kitchen" , "Piece of pasta - fool" , "Pasta strip; silly person" , "Piece of pasta for foolish person?" .)
