I dunno', good food has good flavor, even if it will make you fear God. Some of the best tasting curry I've ever had was also the spiciest thing I've ever eaten to date.
Don't disagree, but I was referring to the boutique hot sauce stuff that can run into the millions of scovilles.
Pure pain with no upside.
I dipped a toothpick into Da Bomb hot sauce once and it was pure pain, no flavour came through at all
Yeah that stuff is made in a lab and tastes awful on it's own. It's the sort of thing you add a couple drops to a whole pot of food when you want to up the heat without changing the flavor.
