Friends, Fishermen and fellow Chileheads...
Today I had an encounter with the 'World's Hottest Chile', the Carolina Reaper.
For your enjoyment here ya go, enjoy my pain.

Man, that looks like it was hot enough to take your mind off any other kind of self destructive behaviour, like driving nails into your skull. Wow.
That episode entitles you to walk around carrying a sign that says, "I am a better man than you are."
Don't know about better, but definitely crazier.
WHY?
That was like watching a train wreck, couldn't look away; thought sure your head was fixin' to explode!
I thought the same thing .......why.....I didn't need to watch.....I don't do hot
And better man or crazier?? I was thinking of another term for self inflicted pain
I just thought I liked HOT but not like that. I like to taste food the rest of the meal.
Damnnnnnnnn, nothing like a little self-torture!
Your taste buds recover yet?
I grew some of those this year, havent tried them yet and after seeing that im not sure i want too lol
@ Fin
Why? I'm a Chilehead, its just one of the things I like to do.
@ Carl
Taste buds recovered in about 15 minutes, no long term effects.
@ Ironman
Stupid you might be thinking? Definitely for someone who doesn't enjoy truly hot chiles.
@ fishingjunkie
I don't advise eating raw Super-Hots if you're not very accustomed to eating hot chiles.
Here are the chiles my buddy sent me, Ghost on the left, Reapers on the right.
I'm making salsa next week and canning it, gonna be da'bomb!

I'm pretty sure those hurt you twice...
I raise bhut jolokias(ghost chiles). the 1st harvest i ended up in the er in respiratory distress after prepping the peppers for sauces. You MUST wear a respirator... and 3 layers of gloves. Also get your wife, lady friend, or kind neighbor to help you aim when using the bathroom for a week....
My hands and etc burned like icyhot for 3-4 days straight.....
The pepper actually has a wonderful flavor when used in the correct proportions. ~1 tablespoon of sauce is more than enough for a medium hot pot of soup/gumbo.
I have yet to try a reaper... please save the seeds. I would like a few samples if you grow them out next year.
Sorry, no residual effects.Quote:

That and the fact that I prep for such by eating a good meal and milk/ ice cream before and after.
We'll see what gives.Quote:
