Any fruit of a plant of the botanical genus Capsicum, which has a spicy/burning flavour because it contains capsaicin. (Not all chili peppers are particularly spicy, but all true chili peppers contain some capsaicin, in contrast to e.g. the bell pepper, which is not a true chili pepper and does not.)
A red-colored, ripe, bell or sweet pepper. Unripe peppers of this variety are green and edible but not as sweet.
Spicy pepper.
