for a sec i thought pornbooth decided to come back.

 

 

anyway, anyone here about that record-breaking pepper?

 

 

 

World’s hottest pepper is ‘hot enough to strip paint’

 

Fiery food mavens seeking to one-up each other now have to gear up for a whole new test of culinary bravado: the world's hottest chili pepper.

Yes, the Naga Viper, the latest claimant to the world's-hottest-pepper crown, outdistances its predecessor, the Bhut Jolokia, or "ghost chili," by more than 300,000 points on the famous Scoville scale of tongue-scorching chili hotness. Researchers at Warwick University testing the Naga Viper found that it measures 1,359,000 on the Scoville scale, which rates heat by tracking the presence of a chemical compound. In comparison, most varieties of jalapeño peppers measure in the 2,500 to 5,000 range -- milder than the Naga Viper by a factor of 270.

 

You might think the Naga Viper would hail from some part of the world with a strong demand for spicy food, such as India or Mexico. But the new pepper is actually the handiwork of Gerald Fowler, a British chili farmer and pub owner, who crossed three of the hottest peppers known to man -- including the Bhut Jolokia -- to create his Frankenstein-monster chili.

 

"It's painful to eat," Fowler told the Daily Mail. "It's hot enough to strip paint." Indeed, the Daily Mail reports that defense researchers are already investigating the pepper's potential uses as a weapon.

But Fowler -- who makes customers sign a waiver declaring that they're of sound mind and body before trying a Naga Viper-based curry -- insists that consuming the fiery chili does the body good.

"It numbs your tongue, then burns all the way down," he told the paper. "It can last an hour, and you just don't want to talk to anyone or do anything. But it's a marvelous endorphin rush. It makes you feel great."

 

A member of the Clifton Chili Club -- a group of Brits who travel around sampling chilis -- decided to try one of Fowler's Naga Vipers on camera. You can watch his less-than-pleasurable experience here.

Missed this thread some how, but I is hear now. Love me some hot sauces, stopped eating spicey food for a while, but I ordered some wings last night and forgot how much I love the rush. Just my tolerance has lowered and I felt pussified for it took me a while to finish them.

Steady stay equiped with siracha, cholula and assortments of other random peppered goods.

 

Currently this is my favorite with meats, pork and chicked [JCS crushed scotch bonnet]

never saw this thread... going to read 8 pages now... hotest shit i have ever tried was this mexican spot in Visalia CA, they had some "behind the counter" secret sauce made of ghost chilis and holy fuck best shit ever... i mean it fucked me up but so good... oddly not a fan of Indian food spicy...

cool story br0!!

 

EDIT*

read thread... adding my 2cents..

anything "hot sauce" with vinegar as the first ingredient i usually cant stand. plus its usually not hot enough for me...

best "hot" imo is the one that creeps up on you, "ah, this aint bad" 5 mins later brow is dripping and your looking for bread...

any korean or thai spot that DOES NOT use ground up peppers is pussy... ill tell them fools maximum 10 spice and i get a plate of seeds, pussy... real spots sneak in with that ground pepper that is dust and it fucks you up...

 

anyone in here try that Noodle spot in LA Orochon Ramen??? i herd that Special #2 is some of the most serious shit in the US and i want to try it so bad... dude uses a respirator to make the shit...
