And I notice the inside has an aromatic flavour (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aniseed

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

'an aromatic flavour' is the definition.
'aniseed' can be an answer for 'flavour' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'an aromatic' bit.

'and i notice the inside' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'see' (notice can mean to spot or see).
'the inside' is an insertion indicator.
'i'+'see'='isee'
'and' going around 'isee' is 'ANISEED'.

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aniseed that I've seen before include "Liquorice flavour" , "Eased in (anag)" , "Cake flavouring" , "Flavouring of sambuca" , "Strong flavouring often used in sweets" .)
