Tiger maybe swallowed leg? It tastes like cheese! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

camembert

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

'cheese' is the definition.
(I know that Camembert is a cheese)

'tiger maybe swallowed leg? it tastes' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'leg?' could be 'member' (leg is a kind of member) and 'member' is found in the answer.
'tiger' could be 'cat' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'cat' is found within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'like' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for camembert that I've seen before include "French food" , "Rich soft French cheese" , "French produce" , "Soft creamy French cheese" , "Soft rich cheese as made in Normandy" .)
