Firm area tasted great in bananas (7,6)

I believe the answer is:

trading estate

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

'firm area' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'tasted great in bananas' is the wordplay.
'bananas' indicates an anagram (bananas can informally mean crazy).
'tasted'+'great'+'in'='tastedgreatin'
'tastedgreatin' with letters rearranged gives 'TRADING ESTATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trading estate that I've seen before include "Industrial/commercial zone" , "Commercial zone" , "Area with factories" , "where the industrial firms are concentrated?" , "Industrial and commercial area" .)
