Anybody know an English word for "spicy hot" flavour?!


Question: Spicy can mean anything with spice in it (e.g. a cinnamon bun) and hot can mean plain high temperature. Peppery means specifically to do with pepper, maybe not even hot.
There does not seem to be a proper English word for hot spicy.
Must be to do with our traditionally rather un-spicy food.

'Sizzling' hot is a good term.

Scotch bonnets are my favorite hot pepper.

I have been wondering the same for years. In Spanish is PICANTE (Not piquante as they have been suggesting).

I think you should make up your own word...that would be good! Let me know if you do :)

We use "piquant", but that's not English really, just a loan word. Your second paragraph is spot on!
