Starter had type of liquid served with a little bread (4,2,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
soup of the day
'starter' is the definition.
(the soup of the day commonly served as a starter)
'had type of liquid served with a little bread' is the wordplay.
'liquid' indicates anagramming the letters.
'served with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a little bread' becomes 'sou' (sou can mean a small amount of money or 'bread').
'had'+'type'+'of'='hadtypeof'
'hadtypeof' is an anagram of 'poftheday'.
'poftheday' put after 'sou' is 'SOUP OF THE DAY'.
(Other definitions for soup of the day that I've seen before include "Potage du jour" , "Restaurant starter" .)
