'chinese sweet' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'supporting air code on internet' is the wordplay.
'supporting' becomes 'for' (being for something means supporting it).
'air' becomes 'tune' (air can mean a piece of music).
'code on' becomes 'cooki' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'internet' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'for'+'tune'+'cooki'+'e'='FORTUNE COOKIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fortune cookie that I've seen before include "Biscuit containing a message" , "Pastry containing maxim" , "Chinese biscuit (containing a slip of paper)" , "Predictive biscuit of Chinese restaurants" , "Chinese restaurant speciality" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
