European variety of manger (6)

I believe the answer is:

german

'european' is the definition.
(I know that German is a type of european)

'variety of manger' is the wordplay.
'variety of' indicates an anagram.
'manger' is an anagram of 'GERMAN'.

(Other definitions for german that I've seen before include "Helmut?" , "European language" , "Manger (anag.)" , "European national" , "Hamburger, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
