Greedy where flesh is involved? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

selfish

'greedy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'where flesh is involved?' is the wordplay.
'where' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'involved?' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'flesh' with letters rearranged gives 'selfh'.
'selfh' enclosing 'is' is 'SELFISH'.

(Other definitions for selfish that I've seen before include "Mercenary" , "Concerned chiefly with one's own interests" , "Concerned only with self" , "Egocentric - mean" , "Putting own interests first" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
