Had a tasting session thisarvo.
First up was the ripe Devils Tongue. Cut a nice slice and chewed it up.
BANG! Instant punch in the throat! then the lips and front of the mouth was attacked. My tingue sizzled for a while and i drooled lots. Great flavour. Tasted kind of like Stillmanz Jerk Sauce for some reason? GReat chilli packing a fantastic assult of heat and flavour.
Had a 15 min break and cut the ripe 7 Pod in half for a look. Lots of yellow placental tissue. smelt similar to the Bhuts but not as pungent. a bit more peppery if anything. Much thicker fleshed as well and lots of juice. That alone scared me!
sliced of a chunk and chewed it up. I handled the Bhuts ok......... this will be ok as well........ right?
WRONG!
Hoooooooooly Sheep Shit!
It took a good minuite to build. I got nothing at first.... for about 10 to 15 seconds and i thought, oh no, what have i done!
I drooled, and drooled, and drooled over the sink, non stop for about 5 minuites. I think the Bhut made me spit a few times.
I found myself shaking my legs around ,doing a bit of a pain dance. I withdrew into a better place and thought about a mouth full of icecream.
The heat seemed to soak into the flesh in my mouth and it just wouldnt let go. 10 minuites later i was red in the face, dripping sweat and kind of spaced out. I felt a bit woozy and happy if you know what i mean.
The most extreme chilli i have ever tried. And the scary looking ones are yet to ripen on another plant!
cheers
