So I was talking with some coworkers last week and we were talking peppers since I brought in salsa that day. He said he had eaten a bhut from his dad's garden and it wasn't too bad. I told him I could bring him in a hot pepper to try if he would like. He said he was game. Today was game time.
The pepper of choice was my red douglah. He comes in to work today and I show him the pod. His reply, "Holy Hell". Everyone agreed it just looks evil. I let him off the hook, I told him he could cut it in half and remove the seeds. He was worried about the size, and I brought in the smallest pod I had.
He pops in the half and starts chewing. I tell the gathering crowd that a sign of a hot pepper is if he gets the hiccups. Right on queue he starts hiccuping. People looked at me and was like, how'd you know? He was hiccuping so fast he couldn't even drink his milk at one point. Once he looked in the garbage can like he was going to loose it. Had tears streaming down his cheeks. I asked him compared to the bhut he ate, how hot was this one, and he said close. Not bad for a half a seeded pepper, in which he lost a lot of placenta. I don't think he would have made it if he had just chomped the whole thing down. He had two more hours to work.
That was the most fun I had at work all week.
