Answer 1

A more precise context is required to give you a good answer. By itself, "Por algo de comer?" literally means "In exchange for some food?"

Answer 2

"algo de comer" or "algo para comer" (depending on region) are both accepted ways of saying "something to eat".

"¿Quisiera(s) algo de/para comer?" - Would you like something to eat?

• why is that? do some regions prefer using the preposition "de" more than "para"? - mcoger Jan 22, 2011
• Prepositions evolve with the spoken language. Some regions adopt some prepositions more than others and it becomes second nature for all speakers alike - gone Jan 22, 2011
