Thread: The hot sauce thread!

I am really fond of really hot sauce, but when someone grows up eating my mother's cooking, one tends to find ways to hide the flavor of the food.

I do enjoy the less hot more flavor based things on some types of food, however.

And is it just me, or does one build a tolerance to spicy stuff if they eat it enough?

I've been eating home roasted chile rellenos and home made salsa on tamales and eggs for breakfast since I was a baby. I can eat just about any "spicy" food out there and it doesn't bother me in the least. I can appreciate the flavor of some sauces and foods friends of mine wont dare touch because they say it's too hot to enjoy.

You build a tolerance because you're killing your tastebuds off...which means you need more and more hotsauce to get the flavor.

Decent enough.

Nom, nom!

This is the goodness, too! Always good on any Asian food I bring home, or when I make some rice and vegetables.

My family loves to make eggs rolls around New Years and bust this sauce out. And we are not even Asian.

But yeah, said sauce+egg rolls=HEAVEN! :D

oh man what happens when you've worked your way to the hottest sauce ever and there isn't anything hotter than that?
