I sliced off a piece of the Viper.
The first 10 seconds were very enjoyable. It's a strong flavor, but very pleasant. I think it would fit well in a harissa.
10 seconds pass.
The creeping burn turns into a wildfire. I sneeze, and without thinking I scratch my nose.
It's game over for my face.
Bahahahaha!! I've made the same mistake going to the restroom after handling peppers!! I grew many peppers that are supposed to be hotter than the Viper but I have personally not tasted anything hotter including the Morougas I grew and Butch T, Infinity etc.
This year Im growing the Carolina Reaper and I'm bringing back the exact same Viper plants (overwintered)
