Lingering sensation provided by different star at fete (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aftertaste

'lingering sensation' is the definition.
(taste that remains after eating or drinking)

'different star at fete' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates an anagram (letters placed in a different order).
'star'+'at'+'fete'='staratfete'
'staratfete' is an anagram of 'AFTERTASTE'.

'provided by' is the link.

(Other definitions for aftertaste that I've seen before include "residual sensation" , "What lingers in the mouth" , "as the table is cleared?" , "Residue on the palate" , "lingering flavour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
