And I thought *I* was insane . . .
I like hot stuff. As noted in this post, I grew a bunch of extra-hot Habanero varietals this year, and have made several batches of super-hot sauce. But even I have my limits, and know them. Unlike this twit:
Man, you gotta love dumb jocks.

You can buy these online (at least here in the UK)
They grow these Naga jolokias in Dorset, UK (Google: Buy Naga Dorset, and you'll get to "Peppers by post", or just google that!).
I don't remember if they ship internationally.
I bought some a month or two ago. I used some for chilli jam (they taste very strongly of habeneros, very fruity with a strong aftertaste/afterodour which I associate with melon for some reason), and the rest in cooking a chilli con carne and a couple of curries. Mindblowingly hot is the only term for them. As a chilli lover I've tasted all the usual sauces and what not, most tend to sacrifice flavour for heat unfortunately in my experience. These lack neither. Fruity, deliciously flavourful and very, very hot. Eating them raw like this guy did (taking a nice big bite was very dumb) could result in lasting damage!
More sensibly, the Peppers by Post people supply the best jalepenos I've ever had, and have a great selection of peppers etc. Look them up.
"information.... i could've
"information.... i could've used a little while ago...."
haaahahahhahaha.
what a knob.
i gotta admit, though. i really want to try this chili. i've been to india twice. and i've noticed a definite increase in my spiciness tolerance level ever since "acquiring" a bombay native as my best friend a few years ago...
but still. hooo. that'd take some doin'.

wow
He took it pretty well.
It didn't even look painful.
would have been better
it would have seemed hotter if he was on the ground screaming or something.
"When you eat it, it’s like dying."
From a farmer who grows them in India:
Holy shit. I've just about put myself in the hospital (it felt like, anyway) eating too much Red Savina-based salsa on bratwurst, but the "Ghost chili" is almost twice as hot.
Damn. It scares me - and yet now I am intrigued. I wonder what the flavor is like? ;)
Sounds like a religious experience.
Does that mean you're reborn after? Sounds like a religious experience to me!
Red Savina based salsa, eh Brent? Oh, baby - I'm gonna have to send you some of my sauces from this year's harvest!
