'tommy for one' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'food with little hesitation' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'tuck' (tuck can mean food).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'little hesitation' becomes 'er' (expression used when hesitating).
'tuck'+'er'='TUCKER'

'given' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tucker that I've seen before include "With best bib, an outfit of clothes" , "Best bib and ..., finest clothes" , "Nursery-rhyme Tommy" , "Informal Australian food" , "Australian food, informally" .)
