western world, some part of it to be more precise, not exposed to rich variety of other sources of spiciness...

Entire continents work without tabasco just fine. Would be a junior mistake trying to make some curry with it for example. Just like its a junior mistake putting in such headline, unless its click bait

I've traveled to about 50 countries, on every continent except Antarctica and I've found Tabasco in every country I've been to, from Tajikistan to Tunisia to Turkey to Taiwan. At a minimum, it can be found at 99% of hotels that serve an "international" style breakfast with scrambled or fried eggs, and I have found it in enough convenience stores in some of the most remote places that it is highly unlikely that western visitors at hotel buffets are the entirety of the domestic market. It may not be the first option for adding heat to food, or even the second, but it's basically always an option, basically everywhere I've seen.

		International hotels, I get it. Artificial western bubble without a single touch of reality of the country surrounding such hotel. That is not reference on anything, double that for food nor even understanding the place, culture, people, where they come from and where they are heading etc. If discovering such places is one of purposes of your traveps, may I suggest interacting with locals more, eating where they eat, speeping in hotels they sleep in. You may revisit your opinions afterwards.
