Snipe eventually stuffed with grouse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peeve

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

'snipe eventually stuffed with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'PEEVE' can be found hidden inside 'snipe eventually stuffed'.

(Other definitions for peeve that I've seen before include "upset" , "Get annoyed" , "cause irritation" , "bug" , "Cause annoyance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
