Touring Panama, cooks get this food (9)
I believe the answer is:
spaghetti
'food' is the definition.
(spaghetti is a kind of food)
'touring panama cooks get this' is the wordplay.
'touring' indicates putting letters inside (touring can mean going round).
'panama' becomes 'pa'.
'cooks' is an anagram indicator.
'get'+'this'='getthis'
'getthis' anagrammed gives 'sghetti'.
'pa' inserted within 'sghetti' is 'SPAGHETTI'.
(Other definitions for spaghetti that I've seen before include "2 [PASTA]" , "Pasta in long strips" , "something resembling tangled wires" , "is often sucked in" , "Common form of pasta" .)
