Hot red pepper (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

tabasco

cayenne

'hot red pepper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cayenne that I've seen before include "Capital of French Guinea" , "Spice from dried chillis" , "in kitchen found extremely hot stuff" , "something hot" , "Hot red spice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune and The Guardian.
