I kinda wish they had something a bit spicier.
Me too. Though I do like the flavor overall.
The best hot sauce I ever had I found in an international grocer in the Caribbean section. It was made of Scotch Bonnet peppers, and yellow; very hot, and a very unique flavor.
There's a place in Girard, OH called Jib Jab Hot Dog Shoppe (because hot dogs are old English, apparently) that had a collection of hot sauces. I used to mix and match them and create my own concoctions (2:26 in the video below).
Not really sauce (though Mexicans would disagree, since "salsa" is Spanish for "sauce"), but I used to make my own salsa using tomatoes, onions, jalapeño peppers, and habanero peppers from my own garden. I miss growing the ingredients and making it.
But my daughter is moving in this week, so maybe next spring she'll give me access to her garden (that the previous tenants made into a fire pit
).

That hot sauce array looks awesome.
The salsa sounds awesome. I sometimes make my own with tomato, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and whatever chilis I happen to have on hand. Its good stuff. Not as good as home grown, though. We do buy from a local farm, and that's better than store bought, but we don't have the space to grown anything here.
I hope you get garden access! There's nothing like providing your own meal, right from the seeds.
Not really into fast food apart from fish and chips, which, living in London as a child meant we often had rock salmon, a nom de tasty for dogfish I think. The mad cow episode in the early 1990s? saw me never to eat a burger ever again. Probably the worst thing I ever had was a squid or octopus in a roll (In Spain), and very rubbery it was too, so inedible. Three of my friends and I all had food poisoning from a local chippy after an evening's drinking, with varying effects on us as to which end it came out. For some it was both.
Omg I don’t think we can even have that here (though we have the cheesy Gordita crunch.)
Maybe I’ll try ordering that next time cos that sounds delicious
Why should I? It’s a meal not a buffet.
Also Vegemite is National treasure I’ll have you know. You Yanks just don’t know how to eat it properly. That’s not our fault.

Arby's started out as place that only made roast beef sandwiches made out of thinly sliced real roast beef. The price of real roast beef kept their prices higher than other fast food places so their market share was limited. When the technology advanced enough so that they could take scraps and other bits of beef and glue them together with some sort of gelatin they were able to drop their prices and compete with the major burger companies.
You can see that something does not look quite right with that beef. It is not as bad now as when they first switched, but it still sucks compared to the original.

I like Subway. Get what you want, get it seasoned up, and you can actually get some tasty sandwiches from them.
Seriously though, why do fast food places never actually have hot stuff when they say it's hot? Even Wendy's managed to severely and massively weaken their ghost pepper stuff a few years back. And just about everyone I've talked to thinks their spicy chicken used to be hotter.
Fixed it.

Probably for the same reason the Indian restaurant here won't give people of non-Indian descent spicy food. People order it in ignorance of what real spicy food is like, and then get mad at the server for their stupidity.

One of my favorites is the super hot Gringo Bandito. It too is super weakened for the heavy weight scoville rated chilis in it, but it has a decent kick and explodes with flavor.
The flavor means a lot to me. My husband likes just the straight hot, but for me, if the flavor is bland, the extra heat isn't worth it.
Canuckistanian style?
Smothered in fries, cheese curds, & gravy?

That's discrimination against chiliheads who don't feel satisfied unless it BURNS.

This sauce I'd normally be disappointed with because it really just doesn't have much of a burn, but the flavor is just so wow and yum that I make an exception.
Screw Tabasco, the black bottle of Gringo Bandito I put that **** on everything.

I got in a battle with the owners of a restaurant now closed... they refused to give me Indian-spicy, but said they'd make it as hot as they could for their non-Indian customers. It was bland. I complained. Next time they gave me low level Indian spicy. I said better, but not good enough. The next time I came in, the waitress served me with a smug smile. Delicious! I loved it! She came over and asked "too spicy, yes?" Nope, I told her. Perfect! She got disgusted with me and said "That's too spicy! Only you and my husband can eat that!" But every time I came in after she'd just laugh and say "I know, you want it hot."

I've decided one of these days when I make ot to an Indian restaurant I'll just tell them let the arrogant gringo burn.
The only fast food I eat is what I can quickly whip up at home.
The ham from the other day, a little bread, some cheese cut from a nice block of cave-aged cheddar -- and in under 5 minutes I have a Croque-Monsieur sandwich.
Pot roast left over from Sunday, a small can Roma tomatoes and maybe a quickly minced shallot -- I've got a great sauce for whatever pasta I can quickly boil up.
And a couple of eggs and whatever you can find in your fridge door -- lunch is minutes away!
All fast-food joints, in my view, are trash.
