Girl with a French friend, possessing taste (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salami

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'possessing taste' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'girl with a french friend' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'sal' (feminine given name).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a french friend' becomes 'ami' (I've seen this before).
'sal'+'ami'='SALAMI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salami that I've seen before include "Highly seasoned fatty sausage" , "Highly-spiced sausage" , "Highly seasoned Italian sausage" , "Slim, graceful" , "meat product" .)
