Heat brings taste out, similar to how some foods can be caramelized.
heat overpowers taste
That's a very generalized statement... Heat can both influence and enhance the taste of food, but its effect largely depends on the context and how it is used in cooking. Flavors are enhanced when it comes to meats/vegetables/fruits for instance, by causing Maillard reactions, which 100% adds depth to food. Heat also releases aromatics from spices and herbs. Unless you're burning food, that's the only way you could ruin it.
i meant hot as in spicy
Surprisingly spicy take, but you're right. Some people will never know what lemon, salt, pepper, ginger, butter, BBQ sauce fucking anything tastes like because they just constantly overpower their food with spice all the time.
yes, this
🤔 Sometimes that's true, and I do like the occasional spicy dish. There's a balance to be struck with heat and flavor
