This one's been bugging me for a while now and I have yet to think of a good solution.

We have one question tagged `[spiciness]`, another tagged `[hot]`, and a few more tagged `[spices]` even though they aren't really about "spices" per se (fresh chili peppers are not what I would call a spice).

The tag `[hot]` seems way too generic, and something about `[spiciness]` bugs me to no end - perhaps it's just the fact that it's so similar to `[spices]` and could easily become a point of confusion.

But I'm not sure what to put in its place. I'm talking about questions like [How can you make a sauce less spicy/hot?](https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/1120/how-can-you-make-a-sauce-less-spicy-hot) I suppose, in technical terms, that such questions are pretty consistently talking about *capsaicin*, but I have to assume that the majority of people asking questions about it aren't going to *know* that.

So... is there a tag we can use to identify questions that are talking about *"that"* kind of spice/heat? Do we need one? Should we just lump it under `[spices]`, or remove any spice-related tags altogether? Should we borrow from another language and use something like `[picante]` (sounds pretentious, but then again we have `[umami]` now)?

Any other ideas, thoughts, recommendations?
