The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper

Ever used it? I added it to turkey chili when I couldn't find run-of-the-mill chili powder in my spice cabinet.

Mr. pig said "I think you overdid it" and didn't finish his bowl.

For the record, Trinidad Scorpion has been rated at over 1,300,000 on the Scoville heat scale. Habaneros are a mere 100,000 to 360,000.

(I ate the rest of the batch at the expense of my stomach lining.)

Probably not as hot as where they're naturally grown, but still damn hot. Nearly as hot as the Ghost Peppers I grew.
