hot sauce
Spicy pepper liquid
Hot sauce is a spicy liquid condiment made from chili peppers, vinegar, and seasonings.
Varieties range from mild to extremely hot, with devoted fans who collect bottles and debate brands.
Hot sauce appears on eggs, tacos, wings, and nearly anything else: I put hot sauce on everything.
The term covers thin, vinegary Louisiana-style sauces as well as thicker preparations like sriracha.
