Are you a big hot sauce person? If you are, you’re part of a massive group of hot sauce lovers all over the world, each with their own particular level of tolerance. There’s nothing better than sprinkling a tasty hot sauce on a dish that needs it, but now it’s time to ask the tough question: are you overdoing it with your hot sauce? There’s a chance you might be. Here’s why you should be using your hot sauce sparingly.
It Can Make Your Food Seem Dull
It’s really just logical when you think about it. People add hot sauce to their food in order to add flavor and a “kick”, but where does it end? Some people end up getting to a point where they need the hot sauce in order for their food to be remotely interesting at all. This can result in all food seeming dull and bland unless you add hot sauce to it, and that’s not what you want.
What you want is a tasteful dose of occasional hot sauce. You want it to actually taste spicy when you use it—because if your tolerance is so high that no hot sauce seems hot, you may have trouble appreciating your food for what it is. So use hot sauce responsibly!
