I just ate some peppers so hot they made me sweat some of my hair out!

[panader0]

My scalp got soaking wet and beads of sweat dripped off my nose.
I looked like I just got out of the pool. I washed up in the bathroom looking in the mirror to see if my tongue was still there.
I'm better now, I think I'm going to make it.

1. Scotch bonnet?

[panader0]

4. Habanero--cousin to Scotch bonnet.

Do Scots really have hot peppers?
And how does one access the tilde needed in habanero?

[brush]

5. They're both hot as hell. My sympathies.

[imavoter]

14. habanero doesn't have a tilde

jalapeño does

[unblock]

2. Send some this way!

3. LOL

I went to go ask a coworker a question but he was sitting at his desk white as a sheet and sweating profusely. WHAT'S WRONG? I asked and he held up a bag of jalapenos. I told him I'd come back later.

6. Ever tried a bhut jolokia (ghost pepper)?

I haven't, but I hear they are volcanic.

8. The name scares me--it raises my hackles.

I love hot stuff but it makes me sweat profusely. At home I will sit with
a paper towel on my head--I could wring it out--Jeannie thinks it's hilarious.

15. I don't really like ghost peppers ... obviously I've never just EATEN them but I've had various

Ghost Pepper flavored-things like salsa's & hot sauces ... I don't find them pleasant. They have a very musty/mildew-like flavor to me. Not a fan.

Habaneros OTOH I like things flavored with them for sure.

My favorite store-bought salsa in the world is Mrs. Renfro's Mango Habanero ... stuff is the BOMB (for mass-produced store-bought stuff I mean).

7. I saw a cooking show once where the peppers were so hot it

caused the camera guy a bloody nose! The peppers were being cooked and the air was full with the pepper heat.

9. I could let you try one of the Carolina Reapers we grew this year, but I like you, so no, I won't

do that to you.

They are rated at over 2 million Scoville units.

[panader0]

11. "Reaper" eh?

What do you do with 2 million Scovilles? One pepper could last a lifetime.

[Atticus]

12. I don't do anything with them. I won't even touch them without disposable vinyl gloves.

A friend gave me the plants and I grew them in a pot away from the garden to prevent cross pollenation.

They are scary hot.

16. Heh...

you could make your own pepper spray to ward of bears with those!

10. Just wait till tomorrow.

13. Asbestos Charmin is recommended. nt
