Satisfied to accommodate a carnivore’s food (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meat

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

'carnivore's food' is the definition.
'meat' can be an answer for 'food' (meat is a kind of food). I'm unsure of the 'carnivore's' bit.

'satisfied to accommodate a' is the wordplay.
'satisfied' becomes 'met' (as in 'met the conditions of his contract').
'to accommodate' is an insertion indicator.
'met' going around 'a' is 'MEAT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meat that I've seen before include "Flesh for eating" , "Food for carnivores" , "17 [ESSENCE]" , "Eg, beef or pork" , "grub, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
