   Are we really eating food or are we just eating hot sauce delivered by other foods?

     If I have Cholula and Valentina in my pantry I am prepared for any foods you give me. Valentina works fine with Asian food and Cholula will work with Italian foods.
     
     Sriracha is great for most Asian foods obviously, but sometimes you need Gochujang. These two are just not as versatile as the others.
     
     Tabasco is really sad though. It's just hot vinegar. Works well in a recipe to provide some heat and acidity but on its own it's too one-noted. Much better options than Tabasco include things like Texas Pete or Louisiana "one drop", maybe even Crystal hot sauce.

     Extreme hot sauces that are designed to make you sweat and drool uncontrollably plus shit your pants in a few hours are not cool. It's just a gimmick. Sure I can handle it but it's not improving the overall experience.

     that being said, people that can handle "spicy spicy Thai" or fully spiced Indian are nuts.
     
     One time I was in the DC area and ordered a Dal from an Indian joint and specified the "low spicy" option. There were like 6 levels of heat and this was a 2. It was so spicy it was inedible. I just had to choke down my garlic naan and cry myself to sleep.
     
     Food should not be so spicy that it hurts to swallow, my dudes. You've gone too far. It's not good for you.

     @feld I love spicy foods, and agree that not to the point where it makes it too much and not want to eat the food.
