The ‘Bhut Jolokia’ ( I call it the ‘ butt joker’ and don’t ask why) chili pepper is the world’s hottest pepper and I have no doubt that their claim and those who have research it is true. I placed the smallest dab on my tongue and it sent me on a trip around the moon!
If you look at how hot it is on the Scoville Scale, you can see it is just below police pepper spray! It’s a wonder you don’t need trainning and a license to use this stuff! whew! 😉
Actually, I am quite fascinated with this chili and plan to grow some of my own! BTW, I am also going research to see what recipes there might exist for it… and how it is currently being used in India… outside of as a defensive weapon!
