Hungry? Tureen is specially prepared (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esurient

'hungry?' is the definition.
('esurient' can be similar in meaning to 'hungry')

'tureen is specially prepared' is the wordplay.
'specially prepared' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'tureen'+'is'='tureenis'
'tureenis' with letters rearranged gives 'ESURIENT'.

(Other definitions for esurient that I've seen before include "could eat a horse" , "Greedy; ensure it (anag.)" , "Rapacious" , "Hungry; retinues (anag.)" , "Hungry, greedy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
