Today at lunch(3:45) I ate half a Bhut... I cut in half length wise so I could share it with a friend. It is now 8:45 and I just stopped hurting about an hour ago.
At first, I was surprised at the flavor. I had time to say, "This thing tastes pretty good. No heat tho, must have been a dud." A few seconds after that, my mouth, throat and stomach all started burning at the same time. When it first hit, I could handle the heat. Then it started getting hotter and hotter. Finally, it platoued... or so I thought... It kept getting hotter until I was stuffing my face with any food or beverage that I could get my hands on.
I sent my GF a text and she started laughing at me. I told her that I thought my guts were melting and all she had to say was, "serves you right".
About an hour after I had eaten it, the burning had gone, but it felt like someone had punched me in the gut.
It was over 100* today and after I ate it, my glases fogged up.
All and all, I was impressed with this chili. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I bit into it. The flavor has to be one of the best I have tasted, but the heat... Oh, the heat... I knew it would be hot but, damn... That thing was hot! I can honestly say it is a 10 out of 10 on my heat range.
BTW, my buddy almost died. He can handle some hot stuff, but his face was bright red and he couldn't talk.
I think I will have another tomorrow.
