Glad I'm not the only one who remembers the pepper patch hot sauce sub-era. He always does this with condiments that he gets. There was also a time when he'd pour liquid smoke on his food hacks.
"You don't need a lot of liquid smoke"

Pours 1/4 cup of it into a single Cup Noodles bowl
 
How strong even is liquid smoke? IIRC I've never had anything with that as an ingredient but they say you're supposed to only use a few drops at a time.

It's one of the most potent ingredients you can use. Stronger than fish sauce, even. It's just condensed flue gas and tastes like your clothes smell after a night around the bonfire. Any more than a few milliliters can ruin an entire dish by making it taste like ash and charcoal.

Only the desensitized tastebuds of a boglim can handle a drizzle of that stuff on a food hack.

Liquid smoke is an American thing so I googled "recipes that use liquid smoke" and there is an article collection of the "51 best recipes that use liquid smoke". Most of the recipes list it as an optional ingredient and use it in minuscule amounts. For example a recipe for cooking 8 lbs of beef (3.6kg) calls for a table spoon of liquid smoke, for 20 servings of beef. He adds 4 or 5 times that amount to his single portion of slop. It has to be disgusting.

I've only ever seen it as an ingredient in Bloody Marys, so I'm surprised that he wasn't adding it to all his drink combos. Liquid smoke mead.

his current fixation seems to be horseradish which is so odd to me because none of his sauce obsessions seem to have a theme or be related in any way. Very random. Horse radish isn’t spicy in terms of capsicum and neither is liquid smoke but both are extremely strong flavors that he is abusing the fuck out of and eating more than a normal human. I guess if he uses a sauce strong enough he can’t taste whatever abomination he made out of food.
