Rejected temptation to stop in Greater Manchester town, becoming ravenous (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insatiable

'ravenous' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rejected temptation to stop in greater manchester town' is the wordplay.
'rejected' says the letters should be written backwards.
'temptation' becomes 'bait' (bait is a kind of temptation).
'to stop' is an insertion indicator.
'greater manchester town' becomes 'sale'.
'bait' reversed gives 'tiab'.
'in'+'sale'='insale'
'tiab' placed into 'insale' is 'INSATIABLE'.

'becoming' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for insatiable that I've seen before include "Having desires impossible to satisfy" , "that could describe monstrous appetite" , "Unquenchable" , "Never satisfied" , "can't get enough of it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
