Im betting that no, whoever has got the staircase full isn’t going to use them all, but they will use some. At that stage, it’s a collector enjoying collecting a foodstuff.

I suppose I don’t understand the general concept of collecting things just for the hell of it, especially food. That’s on me, thank you for being patient.

I fully agree with you, and I have like 20 hot sauces. But I use them all!

I have like 5, and I don’t use them all consistently enough to justify them. My mains are OG Tabasco (pizza) and Sriracha (almost everything else), but I usually have 2-3 at a given time for variety. I like making things spicy and I like varying the flavor, but I also don’t like using up a ton of cabinet space.
We have a bunch of other things that could qualify as hot sauce, such as Korean condiments (gochujang, samjang, etc), wasabi, chili oil, etc, but I consider those ingredients to be used in cooking instead of hot sauces to be added after cooking. We also of course have spices that we can use to make hot sauce (various chili powders) and vinegar, so maybe we actually have infinite hot sauces?
