Seasoning on one type of meat (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pepperoni

'type of meat' is the definition.
(I know that pepperoni is a type of banger)

'seasoning on one' is the wordplay.
'seasoning' becomes 'pepper' (pepper is a kind of seasoning).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'pepper'+'on'+'i'='PEPPERONI'

(Other definitions for pepperoni that I've seen before include "Spicy salami" , "meat product" , "Spicy Italian sausage" , "Spicy snacks" , "what may be called a banger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
