To some extent corpulent, I love a bit of food (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lentil

'a bit of food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to some extent corpulent i love' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LENTIL' is hidden in the letters of 'corpulent i love'.

(Other definitions for lentil that I've seen before include "Lintel (anag.)" , "Pulse used in cooking" , "Small seed used for food" , "A legume, its seed" , "bit of food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
