Now I like hot foods, but I really don't think I'd be able to handle this!

 

[Relic]

Oh helllll no. I don't relish the idea of pooping flaming magma for a week afterwards...

I like spicy foods, but I think this "Hottest Pepper" thing has gotten completely out of hand.

"It numbs your tongue, then burns all the way down," he told the paper. "It can last an hour, and you just don't want to talk to anyone or do anything. But it's a marvelous endorphin rush. It makes you feel great."

It sure has. Every week or month someone is coming out saying they now have the hottest pepper. I try to get one and try it each time, but it is hard to keep up.

I'm good with the selection we already have. Habanero's are hotter than I find pleasurable. Give me Pequins or Arbol peppers for dried, and Serranos for fresh, and I can live life a happy man!

Think I'll stick to jalapenos. That's about all this old man can handle!

Just drink some bleach or lye if you want it to burn all of the way down. There is no flavor from a pepper that hot.









No kiddies, don't do this

Dude, take a little Cockspur rum and make a habanero infusion. It'll rock yer world in a jerk sauce. Fatali peppers are great dried, but are also generally too hot for fresh usage IMHO. I grow Pequins most years for drying, and try something new every year for fresh.

I try to stick with heirloom varieties. Modern unit-swinging hybrids rarely are as good IME. I'll probably give the Naga a pass on that basis alone, unless my local greenhouse dude forces one at me.

You had me at Cockspur! This should be good reason for me to renew my supply of VSOR. Little bit for the peppers, and the rest for me!

That has to be one of my top five rums of all time!!!

The US importer is right across the river from me Bro. My wife bought the 12 Year a while ago when the packie was out of the regular. She's hooked, and I am not complaining.

The great thing about a habanero rum infusion is that you can control dosing with a lot more predictability than using fresh or dried peppers. Plus, it means you have Cockspur in the house...

Yep...

I like HOT food.

I eat raw jalapenos like candy.

...but a regular old Scotch Bonnet/Habanero is about enough to kill ya'.

...and this thing is approaching 3x the Scoville units.

Can you really tell the difference between 1,000,000 SHUs vs. 1.3 million at that level??
