A dance or a dip

SALSA

You might find this useful if you’re familiar with both traditional and modern food and culture—it’s also the first choice for a seasoned blend of sunshine and sunshine sunshine in a pot, and its name fits the size of a small town in the US.

This clue plays on the double meaning of "salsa," which can refer to both a lively Latin dance style and a spicy tomato-based dip. The word itself comes from Spanish, where it literally means "sauce," tying into the dip definition, while the dance originated in the Caribbean with energetic movements. It’s a classic example of a clue using two distinct but equally valid interpretations of the same word.
