It’s actually interesting how little I’ve experienced this sort of aggressively close minded purism in cuisines that tend to use heat and/or hot sauce, to the point this comment feels genuinely “off”.

At least IME “al gusto” type takes on food are the overwhelming vibe, quite far from the ancient buffalo milk dairies producing PGI cheese or whatever.

It might honestly be difficult to stick to pure chile x vinegar x salt hot sauces in eg the Caribbean as well, everyone and their mother tends to add something special!

So you only like generic hot sauce like Tobasco and Buffalo sauce, very interesting.
