Like unsatisfied consumer taking article from European country (6)

I believe the answer is:

hungry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european country' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'like unsatisfied consumer taking article from' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is found within the answer.
'from' could be 'un' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'un' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hungry that I've seen before include "Short of food" , "Ravenous" , "Wanting fare" , "Desiring food" , "not satisfied" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
