Spicy. This term is used to distinguish between food that is hot (in
temperature) and food that is spicy-hot. For example, the Chinese
appetizer Bon Bon Chicken is a kind of chicken salad that is cold but
zapped; by contrast, {vanilla} wonton soup is hot but not zapped. See
also {oriental food}, {laser chicken}. See {zap}, senses 1 and 2.
