Holy HEAT!!!
Well, tonight, thanks to my old friend David at Schedel’s, I tasted the bhut jolokia pepper… the hottest in the WORLD! It definitely lived up to its hype (kind of the iPhone of the pepper world 😉 )
Maryellen helped me document the moment and I uploaded it to YouTube. Wow! If you can, I’d recommend trying one! Mine should be ripe in a couple more months… I’ll save one for you!

Well done!
Fruity/burny? Can I use that at a wine tasting?
What inspiration!! I want now be called MetalBatToTheHeadGIRL!!
So…it was hot?
You’re a brave soul. I tend to shy away from foods that make me cry.
Thanks for the testing. That is excellent. I have the plant growing in my garden now….cannot wait till it bears me some peppers.
I get hiccups when eating hot food.
I wish the photo of the sweat rolling off my forehead would have come out better, but oh well… BTW, the song is Sammy Hagar’s “Red Voodoo” which is all about the FORMER hottest pepper in the world, the Red Savina habanero.
Oh, and Maryellen always gets hiccups from the hot stuff, that’s why she asked me if I would. 🙂
I’m ready for the next pepper, who’s with me??
That is brave of you…you didn’t even swear…I’m glad you did it and not me…I would be crying!
i feel for you man, that burning sensation is no joke hehe

Scoville scale is a logarithmic scale. So, from 300,000 to 1,000,000 isn’t roughly 3 times hotter, it’s roughly 1×10^700,000 times hotter. That’s right, 1 followed by 700,000 zeros.

Wow, Gabe, thanks for correcting me. I feel even cooler now! 😉 Mmmmm, exponential heat!
Using these peppers commercially ourselves, I have to wonder… how bad was the hunan hand you experienced later by touching that chili with your fingers?
T
You know what? I didn’t have ANY issues with that… but I have learned my lesson in the past and was VERY careful to just touch the still in-tact skin of the portion that I cut off. I even took my contact lenses out that night with no ill-effects.
BE CAREFUL though! When mine ripen in my garden (about another week) I’ll be wearing latex gloves when I handle them.
