Salsas, e.g.
Answer:
DANCES
Hint:
Think of lively Latin movements often performed to rhythmic music, especially in pairs or groups. The answer isn’t about food—it’s about what you do to it!
Explanation:
This clue plays on the double meaning of "salsas." While "salsa" is often thought of as a spicy sauce, it’s also a lively Latin dance style. The "e.g." hints that the answer is a category—here, types of dances—rather than the sauce itself. So "DANCES" fits as the broader term covering salsa and others like tango or cha-cha.
