It has always been my issue that “heat” and “flavor” are separate entities.
“Hot” is not necessarily flavorful. It’s just hot.
And for me, quite often, the “heat” masks any flavor the dish may have.
My Schwiegervater (whom I loved) would always “smother” everything with green chili, then ask me, “How does it taste?”
I’d say, “I have no idea. All I can taste is the green chili!”
HOT AND SPICY! THE WAY TO TURN ANY DISH INTO MYSTERY MEAT!
