Personally, I like enough heat in the food to feel it, but not so much that it wipes out the flavors of everything else. The one exception being MRE's where I really don't want to taste the food.

Given that the population here is primarily composed of Alpha Males, what are your thoughts on adding heat to food? Sriracha,Tobasco, Dave's or something else; what's your preference in hot sauce? Hot enough to destroy your taste buds or just as a flavoring?
In a good curry, the hotness should be such that the many other flavors can still be tasted. This does seem to change from person to person, so as a cook, one needs to know ones audience (if thats the right term for someone shouting for milk) and adjust the heat accordingly. I use both lots of ginger and chili powder to attain the required hotness.
