traversable

'passable' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'into by partygoers' is the wordplay.
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'by' becomes 'table' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'partygoers' becomes 'ravers' (people attending a rave).
'table' enclosing 'ravers' is 'TRAVERSABLE'.

'food tucked' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
