      I asked my local thai restaurant to “make it a little spicier than normal” because their normal is white suburban spicy and the chef gave me something so spicy it was inedible.

      Like… Fuck you, you arent the only Thai restaraunt in town.

      Happened to me at an Indian restaurant. Owner asked me where I was from then told me she was giving me medium. They’re out of business now.

        I don’t like vinegar, and that’s the predominant taste I get from most hot sauces. So, I also buy powdered ghost pepper. It’s super handy, since my family has zero spice tolerance I can just add powder to whatever on my plate/bowl.

        My friends and I all grow super hots and make our own dry spices as well. That doesn’t stop me from buying hot sauces though because I enjoy the variety of flavors, but you can use the dry spice to add heat to many dishes that hot sauce would ruin/overpower.

          for sure, i still have a bottle or two around, but i rarely every use them anymore since the shaker is so much cheaper, faster, and more able to add heat. like you said, without changing the flavor too much. :)
