Why do we always dip our spicy foods in something that neutralizes the spiciness?

If people enjoy spicy food so much, why try to make it not spicy! This bugs me for real!

Yes, it makes no sense. I hate the idea of it almost as much as I hate the clashing flavors. Might as well make some spicy popsicles.

But I do like hot wings now and then. I tried dipping them in the dressing like my husband says to do but wasn't good. I really didn't like it at all. The wings taste better with out the ranch or blue cheese dressing I think.

I love spicy food, but there is a fine line between too spicy and just right. Blue cheese dressing dip is disgusting. Ranch is okay, but it makes no sense to put it on a chicken wing.

I hate ranch, but I love blue cheese. Still doesn't belong on a wing! LOL! You are the first person I have ever met who shares n this opinion.

I like ranch, but eating it is a suicide mission for me. I have a strong lactose intolerance and ranch has a concentrate of lactose in it...it's essentially the worst thing I can consume, with regard to the lactose intolerance thing. Blue cheese is okay, in my book. I can only consume it in moderation, or as a background flavor. If used sparingly, it can make mac'n'cheese. You must be thinking, "why is this lactose intolerant guy eating mac'n'cheese?" Well, I eat it knowing I will have adverse effects. Good, homemade mac'n'cheese is one of my favorite dishes. If I use mainly aged cheeses, I don't react badly to it. The aged cheeses have less lactose due to enzymes breaking down that complex sugar over time. Dipping wings in these "sauces" is just plain wrong. I would like to ask those who subscribe to this practice, "Are you here to eat chicken or salad dressing?"
