My wife loves hot sauce but her choices are... confusing. Like sure, I get it, you want more heat. But it's like she prioritizes heat over, y'know, a balanced and harmonious flavor profile. Like hey, maybe red pepper flakes would complement that pasta sauce better than whatever Tex-Mex sauce happens to be within arm's reach. Maybe that steak that I've been sous viding in garlic and herbs would taste better with fresh cracked pepper and horseradish then that mango habanero sauce.

Has she burned her taste buds off? I know some people are like that but I don't get it. There are so many hot sauces that you can make pretty much anything spicy AND flavorful.

She actually jokes that I did, since my spice tolerance is still higher than hers. She appreciates other flavors too, she just pairs things bizarrely
