Added salt and pepper (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seasoned

(Other definitions for seasoned that I've seen before include "Veteran - given added flavour" , "Treated food by adding salt, pepper etc" , "Gave experience to" , "how curry tastes?" , "(Of wood) dried out for use as timber" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
