hot sauce

[Hiro]

The more tolerant you get of spicy food, the more the actual flavor ends up cutting through the spice.

what exactly do you mean by this
you and david seem to be acting as though spice isn't a component of flavor
hot sauces all have their own flavors and I don't see anyone here claiming to use hot sauce to add flavor to bland food, nor do I see everyone claiming hotter is better
strongbab and thyme are the only ones even claiming to put hot sauce on everything

Yeah of course they have their own flavors. And they're all spicy too.

[Hiro]

well duh

[Mando Pandango]

yeah

[ME##]

Imo it seems like everyone here is substituting flavour for spiciness

In this thread or in Arizona?

I'm gonna agree with Hiro. The more tolerant you get of spicy food, the more the actual flavor ends up cutting through the spice. So if you like spicy food, you're gonna naturally push spicier to keep that balance.

I guess that's true.  Sometimes all I can taste is the heat and this just not fun lol

[Hiro]

I agree with that and don't think people should just shoot for as spicy as possible to show how tough they are, but heat is a very valid component of flavor that I think is sometimes underrepresented

[LCK]

i despise sriracha 

i like cholula or or pickapeppa. but neither are really hot. just really fucking tasty

[Hiro]

I got this sweet habanero cholula that's pretty darn good

[Mando Pandango]

Damn nice

I got some tostitos fuckin uh Chipotle salsa and it literally tastes like spicy ragu but I'm into it surprisingly enough
