I don't really like hot sauces of any kind, to be honest. Even that salsa that they serve at a typical Tex Mex restaurant is spicier than I'd like. Never been big on spicy stuff...probably a cultural thing, as much as personal distaste for piquance.

That's too bad. Chiles are very good for you, twice the vitamin C and 4 times the vitamin A of most citrus. Also have very good antibiotic properties too.
PLUS, chiles will settle a nauseated stomach down real quickly. In Mexico, the mother will give a child a Serrano chile to chew on to settle an upset or nauseated stomach. It does work.
I knew a lady in Oklahoma with severe stomach problems, I told her about the virtues of chiles, her reaction was like yours. But, she took it to heart and gradually weaned herself onto chiles and sauces. Now she's a confirmed chile-head! And no more stomach problems!
