Saucy stuff in Latin, two lots of it going around (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salsa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'saucy stuff' is the definition.
(I know that salsa is a sauce)

'latin two lots of it going around' is the wordplay.
'latin two lots of' becomes 'als' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'it' becomes 'sa' (SA can mean sex appeal, as in 'it').
'going around' is an insertion indicator.
'als' placed inside 'sa' is 'SALSA'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salsa that I've seen before include "This could be hot" , "Latin American dance - spicy Mexican sauce" , "fling?" , "Latin American dance music" , "that's hot and saucy?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
