It's wonderful in soups and broths!
For sauces, I have several in the fridge. McIlhenny, Crystal, Siracha, Red Hot...all for different purposes.
As a Korean friend told me once, heat in and of itself is of no value if it doesn't also have flavor!
Put me in an Indian restaurant with bowls full of the spicey chutney and I’m in heaven. When I stay in Europe my friends look at me as if I were from Neptune. Their idea of a spicy condiment is mayonaise. Luckily, I found most stores sell tobasco. Not my favorite so I always bring in a bottle or two with me. There are certain hot spices that I can’t do though. The Thai and Koreans use the extra oily peppers that don’t wear off. I can drink tobasco by the bottle and eat wasabi by the spoon full. But those little Thai peppers are killers. And I love spicy food.
At the local Indian restaurant I ask for an extra side of their hot Vindaloo sauce to their already hot curries and spicy dishes. I guess the Naan bread and rice pudding take the edge of the heat off.
