Cannibal leader is very fond of spice (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cloves

'spice' is the definition.
(I know that cloves is a type of spice)

'cannibal leader is very fond of' is the wordplay.
'leader' suggests taking the first letters.
'is very fond of' becomes 'loves'.
The initial letter of 'cannibal' is 'c'.
'c'+'loves'='CLOVES'

(Other definitions for cloves that I've seen before include "A hundred amours for spices." , "Spicy flower buds, used in apple tarts say" , "Garlic segments" , "Lots of garlic" .)
