Pepper Ridge Farm said:I've had a big thick skin jalapeno burn my butt and I eat nagas cut up in a cup of salsa regularly. Of the super hot my favorite are Bhut Jolokia, T. Scorpion, Fatalli, Chocolate Habaneros, and Tabasco. Variety is nice and easy with peppers.
PrairieChilihead said:I like this comment. I can't say that I eat Nagas (I've never actually been in the same room as one...deprived soul that I am) but I've cut up two Red Savinas and sprinkled the rings on a plate of Nachos -- along with a few other hot (not super-hot) peppers...no problem, and yet I clearly remember having a Jalapeno that blew the top of my skull off. The same experience as Pepper Ridge Farm had. The surprise of it all!
Great Thread!! With all these "new" super-hot peppers around, the well known and accepted Scoville Ratings Chart is being re-written on a daily basis. From 500,000 to 750,000 to 1,000,000 to 1,100,00 to 1,500,000. At this point aren't these peppers simply pepper spray in pod form? I'm just kidding...I love them hot.
Thanks for this great thread!
PrairieChilihead said:Quadshotz & Omri -- am I reading your posts correctly? Have you two actually tasted pepper spray? That's a good one! "Pepper To Go" in a convenient carrying case.
Has anyone else imbibed?
