A piece of sausage has more than sufficient taste (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sample

'taste' is the definition.
('sample' can be a synonym of 'taste')

'a piece of sausage has more than sufficient' is the wordplay.
'a piece of' suggests taking the first letters.
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'more than sufficient' becomes 'ample' (I've seen this before).
The first letter of 'sausage' is 's'.
's'+'ample'='SAMPLE'

(Other definitions for sample that I've seen before include "Experience" , "Representative portion" , "instance" , "Small representative piece" , "Specimen, try out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
