Is there any kind of seasoning or condiment you tend to use a lot on food?

This thread's namesake comes from Red Hot's slogan. I enjoy that hot sauce in so many different situations -- cheesesteaks, wings, potatoes, mac and cheese/ramen/rice/other grains, soups, breakfast food, mexican food, and i often use it to add a kick to tomato sauces. it even works as part of seasoning for a meat dish, you're pretty much just adding cayenne pepper and vinegar.

i also love basil in a lot of circumstances.

i always thought salt and pepper were cliche and useless until i really started cooking. both make such a big difference if you use them right

i don't' like Tabasco very much. it's all heat and no flavor IMO.

I am a former Olive Garden server and that shit is annoying.

i definitely do this sometimes. once i started buying block cheese i never went back to processed individual slices. it's cheaper and its aged better so the flavor is stronger, bologna and cheese became my favorite snack once i started buying Cabot cheese blocks.

only at Ihop for me. and that's only because they don't have Red Hot there. haha.

i'm probably going to have several ulcers in my lifetime

just the novelty of seeing how much heat you can handle makes hot sauce addictive.

it is legitimately a "Maryland thing", which i think is cool (but also obvious since it's most commonly used on crab.) even in neighboring PA or VA, people who use Old Bay regularly are rare and it's probably because someone in their family is from Maryland.
