Liking dish adult tucked in (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palate

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

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

'dish adult tucked in' is the wordplay.
'dish adult' becomes 'pal' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tucked in' becomes 'ate' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pal'+'ate'='PALATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palate that I've seen before include "Roof of the mouth, seat of taste" , "One may savour" , "Liking" , "where taste is considered" , "part of trap" .)
