Energy for every condiment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pepper

'condiment' is the definition.
(I know that pepper is a type of spice)

'energy for every' is the wordplay.
'energy' becomes 'pep' (personal energy, vim).
'for every' becomes 'per' ('per' means 'for each' or 'for every').
'pep'+'per'='PEPPER'

(Other definitions for pepper that I've seen before include "Condiment or vegetable" , "Dot" , "Spicy condiment" , "it may be black or white" , "Hot-tasting spice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
