'uninteresting' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'endlessly a bland concoction' is the wordplay.
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'concoction' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'bland'='abland'
'abland' with its final letter taken off is 'ablan'.
'ablan' is an anagram of 'BANAL'.

'seems' is the link.
