    Y’all dont have condiments in your house?

    This guy found one he likes and just kept going. The endorphin kick from just bollocking yourself with some demon spice is probably a big part of it.

      Well yes but how much condiment can he use? Can he even use all of it before ot goes bad? And does he even use them? Because using them means he’ll run out eventually, making his collection incomplete.

        Most hot sauce is mainly vinegar. It doesnt really have a shelf life, but if so, it’s years and years.

        Im betting that no, whoever has got the staircase full isn’t going to use them all, but they will use some. At that stage, it’s a collector enjoying collecting a foodstuff. They will enjoy a bit of them all, then enjoy seeing them and maybe the memories, like most collectors.

        Works for me, as long as he keeps them off the communal fucking stairs.

          I suppose I don’t understand the general concept of collecting things just for the hell of it, especially food. That’s on me, thank you for being patient.

              I have like 5, and I don’t use them all consistently enough to justify them. My mains are OG Tabasco (pizza) and Sriracha (almost everything else), but I usually have 2-3 at a given time for variety. I like making things spicy and I like varying the flavor, but I also don’t like using up a ton of cabinet space.

              We have a bunch of other things that could qualify as hot sauce, such as Korean condiments (gochujang, samjang, etc), wasabi, chili oil, etc, but I consider those ingredients to be used in cooking instead of hot sauces to be added after cooking. We also of course have spices that we can use to make hot sauce (various chili powders) and vinegar, so maybe we actually have infinite hot sauces?
