      I’m with you I regularly eat spicy food, and also grow my own scorpion and ghost peppers and add them into my cooking. I hate most hot sauces in general, as they’re all burn and no flavour. I have however found some that do buck the trend, but in general I don’t go for hot sauces too often

          I’ve had a couple spicy shark ones that have flavour. They also have the pure extract ones but I usually stay away from those

          There’s a Korean BBQ hot sauce that I think is really good

          There’s a matouks west Indian hot sauce I’ve enjoyed

          I’ve found that hot sauces that are a bit chunkier and have actual ingredients like small chunks of chilli or pineapple tend to have a more balanced flavor and heat profile though

        Drop some knowledge, bruh. I can’t find a decent hot sauce that’s both hot and tasty, that’s not overpowered by bullshit like garlic powder.

      It’s probably fine for industrial cooking where it’s being heavily diluted. These crisps don’t use it though.

      Why?

      Edit: Nice autodownvote. Yeah, I agree. Nothing artificial should ever be eaten. No extracts. Hell, processed seaweed is too artificial. Frankly, if ypu can’t grow it, we should ban it because I’m an authoritarian tool.
