was answered as hotpepper on another thread
It was, but it makes no sense.
hotpepper?
To pepper means to sprinkle and hot means fresh.
Well... I suppose sprinkle=pepper and fresh=hot. Powerful ingredient= hot pepper. Not convinced only one word though.
Agreed Mike, but hotpepper should be two words surely
I agree. I can find no reference to it in Chambers as either one or two words. Perhaps it is a newish word meaning to sprinkle, hot being fresh and pepper the powerful ingredient. Seems to be the only thing that will fit, though.

Thanks - I toyed with 'hotpepper' but felt as if I was making up a word. I'm glad I'm not the only one who came up with it.
hotpepper
Guys, if it helps, I have had the same dilemma - it is the final clue too!
I have decided to go with it although I, too, am uncomfortable with it as a single word. We'll know soon enough... JVW
