Habenero Chiles hot Not according to this

We planted some chiles this spring, Habenoro, Jalepeno, Serrano... While thinking about how hot the Habenoro was I came across the new "Hottest Chili in Town". It is the NAGA MORICH coming in at about 1.7 million Scoville units. The Habenero is only in the 500k range. One writer says that a sinlge seed on your tongue can burn for a day.

I know someone that sez he can eat the hottest pepper..... I think I'll order some seeds

let me know where you order them at CD i might want to get some my self

Cool! (not)

I love hot food, and don't think it's hot unless your forehead and around the back of the ears starts sweating. But something 3 times as hot as a habenero seems like you just wouldn't be able to taste anything afterwards, let alone what the next morning's dump's gonna feel like. Hmmm..maybe it'll cure my dog from beggin for food at the dinner table.

Jalepenos are actually my favorite, because I love their taste better than most chilies, they're hot, but not too hot.

As far as chili rellenos (my favorite Mexican dish), Hatch chilies (from Hatch, NM) is the only way to go..eh CD?

I kept getting pretty mild Hatch chile that was supposed to be hot. I switched over to Messilla Valley which is just south of Las Cruces. Same great flavor and hot was hot again. Was just over that way a month or so ago and man them fields were growing some serious peppers.

Hottest chili I've ever eaten was in Thialand. Straight up thermo nuclear melt down. But I didn't let that little bar girl know. She offered another and I ate it too. The Navy didn't have enough ice cream in the 7th fleet for that one.

Best flavored chillis I ever had one year my Bells and Habs crossed. Best stuffed peppers ever.

I didn't put in a real garden this year. I'm moving in 2 weeks so it would have had time to get up good.

habenero

They are good and hot on the scoville unit heAT MEASURE INDEX (500k)they were the hottest until another pepper in I think from secluded india village called the "Jabuta" that rates at 1 million plus scoville units of heat. I cut the article out of the paper and leave in my work area.I'll bring it home and get details. My buddy grew Habenros' here in Ohio and then transplanted them to Florida the last twelve years. He sends them up and I dehydrate them and put them into a blender and purate them to almost paprika like state. Pow mix it down with dried diced cayennes and WAHLA you got a nice heat and flavor. Been working on the mix now for 15 years...works and pizza,chili, spaghetti,egss,,, and it'll warm ya to the max. I enjoy hot foods my son been eating hot peppers for years he stepped up to habeneros when he was 8 and puts them on hotdogs, ramen noodles,etc....
jalpenos are at max 5,000 scoville units,

hottest pepper

Now is a pepper from Chanpool India,
Called the "bhut jolokia" (the ghost chili) Anyone who has tried it, they say, they could end up an apparition. The smallest morsel can flavor a sauce so intensely it is barely edible. it has been a spice, and cure for upset stomachs for generations. Scientists have proof that the bhut jolokia is the hottest pepper in the world. Last year only a ton of peppers were shipped from the village, this year the goal is 10 tons, not that anyone will get rich but for villagers it is a pride thing. Scientists comparing the heat the article states that
Tabasco is 2,500-5000 scoville heat units, jalpeno is 2,500-8,000 scoville units, the Red savina habenero tested up to 580,000 scoville units. The bhut jolokia tested at 1,001,304 scoville units!!!!! And is a new Gunniess record.

Yeah, that is the pepper I was refering to. There is a pretty neat website that has heat rankings, types of peppers, etc.
Here is the pepper we are speaking about:

The following story has been passed around for a good while (don't know the original source) but I figured y'all would get a good laugh - I sure do:

Texas Chili Contest

Frank: "Recently, while visting Texas from Springfield, Ill. I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted".

Here are the scorecard notes from the event:

CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI...
Judge # 1 - A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 - Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 (Frank) - Holy ****, what the heck is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.

CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI..
Judge # 1 - Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 - Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 (Frank) - Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.

CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI...
Judge # 1 - Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Judge # 2 - A bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 (Frank) - Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting ****- faced from all the beer.

CHILI # 4- BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC...
Judge # 1 - Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 - Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 (Frank) - I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-Lb woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?

CHILI # 5- LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER...
Judge # 1 - Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 - Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 (Frank) - My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.

CHILI # 6- VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY...
Judge # 1 - Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 - The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 (Frank) - My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I **** on myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my rear with a snow cone.

CHILI # 7- SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI...
Judge # 1 - A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 - Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 (Frank) - You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldnt feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing as it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.

CHILI # 8- BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI...
Judge # 1 - The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 - This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili?
Judge # 3 (Frank) - No Report
