Can you solve this riddle?

@mkennedy might be onto something, but I've got another angle.

The brain.

It contains food for thought.
But there are no doors

[heltenjon]

With regards to doors, would any opening be considered a door?

Spoiler

Another guess would be an egg, but considering that most animals likely eat the shell also I'm not sure that would count.

That is the correct answer! Yay! 

Stupot, I liked your answer, too, but the expression you guessed, doesn't exist in that form in my language, and the riddle is an old one from folklore.

As for the correct answer,

for animals they could eat the house with the food

either that the chick eats the egg from the inside and out, and has to break the shell to get out, or (more likely) it's simply an observation that it's food (for humans) in its own container.

Anyway, the riddle is solved, and anyone can ask a new one. (Or new old one.) Doesn't have to be the one who solved this one, unless you want to.

Yes! That is the correct answer!
From what I read the riddle may be from ancient Babylon and over 4,500 years old.
