As I`d recently reviewed the Shabu Shabu jolokia and Naga Raja (from Jedisushi06), John Ford sent me some Burmese Naga to fill in the gap, as it were. These were found in a market in Mandalay, Burma, by Grant Hustler of Junglerain. Most of the world knows Burma as Myanmar these days.
This was a good-sized Naga and had the typical Naga flavour, along with some initial sweetness and fruitiness that faded quickly to a mild bitterness. I enjoy some bitter flavour in food, so I didn`t find it unpleasant. it was hot right away and got very hot very quickly. Then it became downright nasty and painful, too. It has an extremely aggressive, painful burn that I have only found in a very few peppers. Madballz 7 jumps to mind.
The Burmese Naga is the hottest Naga I`ve eaten so far. It`s certainly hotter than the Dorset Nagas or Black Nagas I`ve had.
