Not a fan of either and we hardly make food that needs nandos / tabasco. Tabsco doesn't burn though? But maybe I have tried only the milder ones, the ones you get in restaurants.

Nandos used to make decent veggie burgers one time - I used to gobble sauce with that although I was content with X-hot. :)

It is a known fact that some restaurants water down their Tabasco sauces. I saw it myself as a teenager working in a hotel

That is unfortunate.

The wife can not even take 5 drops in a curry, says it makes it too hot, and that is the original.

I soak my food in it just for a tiny buzz on the tongue. Guess we are not all built the same.

I do not understand why white people put Tabasco in curries. Not authentic at all. It is a jalapeno sauce. Curries are made with traditional spices like turmeric, cumin, cardamom, coriander, garam masala, ginger etc.

People do things because it tastes good, not because its authentic.

And chilli flakes
 
At work they have the "Soweto" branded hotsauce... No flavor that I can taste.

Maybe I am just desensitized to these things.

I haven't tried tabasco in curries yet but come to think of it, it could actually go well in certain curries. Will give it a go one day.

Talking about traditional, you probably mean Indian curries here. Some of the spices that are considered Indian subcontinent spices today allegedly don't have Indian origin so surely, at one point of time it was non-traditional to use them.

Point is - what is traditional can change over time.

Sorry brain fart, I read traditional/origin and Indian and had to think of the debate of the origin of Chicken Tikka Masala...continue.

ah - that one. For me, it makes no difference where TF anything originated and what ingredients anything is supposed to have originally. Recipes evolve, just like humans.
 
I opened a bottle of my home-made ghost peppers hot sauce a week ago and took a sniff before adding some to a pot of curry. What a huge mistake...I ended up inhaling a bit which made me sneeze into the pot and I sadly had to throw out 5Kg of stew, in additon to performing a nose irrigation afterward.

I put a label on the bottle that read, "Snot Sauce" and sent it off to my brother.
