Season a few to make them tasty (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flavoursome

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

'make them tasty' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'season a few' is the wordplay.
'season' becomes 'flavour' (synonyms).
'a few' becomes 'some' (both can mean a small amount of something).
'flavour'+'some'='FLAVOURSOME'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flavoursome that I've seen before include "full of zest?" , "with loads of smack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
