Foodstuff given to a male, perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
oatmeal
'foodstuff' is the definition.
(oatmeal is a kind of foodstuff)
'to a male perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'a'+'male'='toamale'
'toamale' is an anagram of 'OATMEAL'.
'given' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for oatmeal that I've seen before include "Powdery substance eaten" , "AA Motel (anag.)" , "Basis of porridge" , "Ground grain; colour" , "The stuff porridge is made from" .)
