Snob put it into menu alongside exquisite starter (7)
I believe the answer is:
elitist
'snob' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'it into menu alongside exquisite starter' is the wordplay.
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'menu' becomes 'list' (list of options).
'alongside' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'starter' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'exquisite' is 'e'.
'it' inserted inside 'list' is 'litist'.
'litist' put after 'e' is 'ELITIST'.
'put' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for elitist that I've seen before include "One showing superior attitude" , "Narrowly superior" , "Looking down on others" , "One who believes that certain people are superior" , "One who treats certain people as superior group" .)
