Squirrel is having a little taste (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relish

'taste' is the definition.
(I know that relish is a type of taste)

'squirrel is having a little' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates a hidden word.
'RELISH' is hidden within 'squirrel is having'.

(Other definitions for relish that I've seen before include "Thoroughly enjoy" , "smack" , "Enjoy; piquant sauce" , "Enthusiastic enjoyment of a condiment" , "Savour; chutney" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
