Flavouring from Pakistan, I see — delightful! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aniseed

'flavouring' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from pakistan i see delightful' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ANISEED' is hidden in the letters of 'pakistan i see delightful'.

(Other definitions for aniseed that I've seen before include "taste of Pernod, perhaps?" , "Strong herbal flavouring" , "Licorice-flavoured sweets" , "Strong flavouring often used in sweets" , "Liquorice flavour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
