Ross

I believe the answer is:

baloney

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

This might be a double definition.

'sausage' is the first definition.
(I know that baloney is a type of sausage)

'nonsense' is the second definition.
(baloney is a kind of nonsense)

'with spice? what' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baloney that I've seen before include "Cobblers" , "Tosh" , "Tripe < , smoked sausage" , "deceptive talk" , "rhubarb" .)
