Hot Peppers
Jul 22^nd, 2014 at 10:16pm

Ghost peppers.
If you grind them up... into a sauce... the fumes can burn you.
1 drop can light a bowl of chili on fire.
dissolve 1 tablespoon of Ghost Pepper Sauce(homemade) into 2 cups of denatured alcohol. Spray onto anything you don't want deer to eat.
They won't touch it.
It even works on fallen apples.
if you get the solution onto your skin, scrub with pumice soap and rinse with water, then milk... then water.
It actually works.
Not to mention that 4,000,000 Scoville sauce is GREAT for pranks...
Haven't done anything really mean, just the usual adding it to various tacos. Pretty funny. Although you must buy another taco...

My best yet were some Thai Dragons. They might not have been quite as hot as ghost peppers but they certainly kicked butt. I think that ghost peppers would be too hot for my liking.

The sweet, fruity taste makes great pepper jelly. I've tried a hot sauce made from the white bhut jolokia (ghost pepper) and it was chocolate like. Kind of nasty, actually.

They are just starting to ripen now. We took 2, and using gas masks(yes, he is a crazy paranoid maniac- but they do come in handy) we blended the stuff in a coffee mill. Mixed it with some everclear and it is nasty hot.

Not a fan of the hot. There's a certain tendency among certain people to "out-hot" each other....

Not me... We had one bad experience in a Thai restaurant... They used to put a little pile of cayenne right on the plate, and we each got a tiny bit on a piece of noodle.... Felt like we'd been pepper-sprayed. (and indeed we had... Pepper spray contains capsicum...)
After recovery, on the way out, we saw an adorable little Thai girl gleefully dumping spoonfuls of this stuff on her food...
Must be genetic.

I have some friends that make a really great hot sauce, it has ghost peppers in it. When I first started eating it, one drop in pot of soup was more than enough. Now, I'll put a teaspoon on a can of sardines and think nothing of it.

I learned to like spicy curries when I lived for a year in Thailand. Growing up in Southern Calif. I always liked good hot Mexican food too. I just made a large batch of fresh salsa but I have to tone it down a little so my wife can eat it. I used Jalapeño, Serrano and just a little Habanero. When it burns going in and coming out that is a problem Grin

I just made a batch of my chili with dried New Mexico chiles, guajillos, chiles de arbol, pasillas, and chipotles in adobo. Mmmmm. I'm an "out hot" kind of guy, but I tend to cook mild food and add hot sauce to it.

The hottest thing I ever made was some chicken wings for my friend Frank and I. I used some Habaneros that my sister Marilyn had grown and the Thai Dragons I grew. The wings ended up being right on the border between wicked good and too hot to eat (For us anyway. I'm sure Mas wouldn't have batted an eyelash). They were perfect.
Bikewer's experience in the Thai restaurant reminded me of my time in Korea. Koreans like their food crazy hot. I've watched two year old Korean kids dig into kimchi that I couldn't touch. I developed quite a taste for Korean cuisine but, as Scoteeball mentioned, it was often as hot coming out as going in and often there would be blood involved. Yep, it was so hot you'd bleed a little while defecating afterward. I've always wondered how Koreans could eat like that their whole lives. Real Kimchi is wonderful but deadly. BTW, I'm not one of the "out hot" kind of guys. I like what I like but I have my limits.
The tastiest hot peppers I ever grew were cherry peppers. Though certainly not the hottest, they had a wonderful flavor and made awesome poppers.

I'm working on a stupidly hot snackstick recipe. The problem is that after 8 hours the chilli loses most of it's potency.

Sooo, I've bought some ghost pepper powder.
I haven't had the guts to open the packet yet - because I know, I'll either sniff it or stick my finger in and taste it - and I'm pretty sure I'll regret either action.

When I do get round to opening it, I'll let you know Shocked

even the fumes from sauces burn.
