This is from an old prize crossword in The Times.
Nearly finished but two more to get.

Rich food: reptile finds nothing is missing(5).

T - - - -

I was thinking TORTE is rich food but is it the answer? What about the reptile? Any ideas or solutions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks, Problem Chimp. All done now. I didn't think of a tortoise as a reptile.
