This clue might be a double definition.

'food' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'fried in this buffet' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for batter that I've seen before include "What the chippy offers" , "Yorkshire pudding and cricket both require this" , "Fritter coating" , "Mixture of flour, eggs and milk, used in cooking" , "Strike hard and often" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
