My favorite sauces are a mustard-based BBQ sauce (Meathead's Columbia Gold recipe is my go-to) and a hot sauce I made by mixing homegrown Ghost Peppers with canned peaches in heavy syrup.

Caribbean mustard and carrot containing hot sauces are amazing, I finally found a place that does Jamaican style sauces near me, you have to track what farmer's market they're at this weekend to get 'em, but that just makes getting them sweeter.

it's both, some white people see the world of hot sauces as their personal Everest exactly because of the stereotype that white people can't handle their spice

'oh yeah? you think we can't handle it??? well then we will make the most uncomfortably spicy sauce in the world and eat it, just to prove it to you! *crying blood* mmm so delicious, so good, hahahaha *vomits*'

Yes. Ditto with the IPAs. I think it might be American white people specifically, or at least in majority. My theory is non whites inadvertently bullied an insecure portion of American whites into inventing tortilla chips spicy enough to kill children by joking we have bland palettes. Similarly, the British got some of us to brew and drink 24 proof Lysol by joking that our macrobrews are low abv corn water. We’re truly a great, not at all insecure or overreacting, people.

I read a thing once that the hottest type of ghost peppers from india were grown mostly to keep elephants out of fields, not as food. The locals would only eat tiny slivers. And when white people searching for the hottest pepper in the world came and wanted to buy tons of it they though it was nuts.

sure, but that was only invented like a decade ago.

when the hot sauce industry started to take off in the late 90s they went around the world looking for the hottest peppers, which is how the ghost pepper got popular. it was probably the hottest pepper in the "wild" or naturally grown before the early 2000s.

then some people (mostly one maniac) started crossbreeding new pepper varieties to be even hotter.

big time drama. they took their sole supplier of peppers (for decades) to court and lost. their product disappeared from stores for years, they had to pay a big rear end settlement, and now they look like assholes who won't honor contracts.

chili peppers are at least the #1 ingredient, which is more than can be said for comparable sauces in the same style which are basically just spicy vinegar, like tabasco, franks, or very dilute with brine like cholula and stuff

That's meaningless though, they're not all using the same type of peppers.

Siracha is made with jalepenos. That's why it's not as hot as many other hot sauces, if you eat a spoonful. Tabasco is made with tabasco peppers, which are like 50% as hot as habaneros. So even diluted with vinegar it's hotter than many other basic hot sauces.


(I like plain old tabasco because you can make stuff hot without adding a ton of salt.)
