Need a word meaning simultaneously spicy and sweet
Piquant
Piquant, being interestingly spicy, or having some quality that ‘piques’ you - or gains your attention and interest, albeit by sticking you with something sharp - it’s origin being from the French ‘piquer’ which means to prick or sting.
I know it doesn’t specifically include sweetness, but I don’t think there is a word that does. Unless you can stick ‘honeyed-’ onto something perhaps.
‘Piquant’ sounds softer to my English ears than being stung by a bee, evoking in me balmy skies and spiced (possibly sweet?) oriental cocktails, and also drawing me to a very ancient personal memory of Miss Stickley teaching us to make ‘Piquant Deckers’ in our very first cookery class; said recipe being a kind of hamburger sandwiched between toast and flavoured with sweet (English!) pickle. Which must live up to its name, as I can still remember it’s pleasingly sweet and spicy taste, 4 decades later.
