  1. I heard about this on the radio this morning:

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20058096/

    The bhut jolokia beats the Red Savina
    in Scoville units.

    I'd sure like to get some of these.

  2. "When you eat it, it's like dying." Hot maybe, nice to eat, Mmm, not so
    sure.

    It's a bit like saying there is a new land speed record for the fastest car
    on the road, but would you be able to use that car as you would normally use
    the car?

    Just a thought.

    I can assure you that it would not be like dying
    for me. If it can make me say "This is rather hot.",
    that would be high praise.

    This "the hotter the better" notion has always struck me as pure idiocy,
    engaged in by the same people who own Hummers, buy penis-enlargement
    pills, and own lots of guns. Heat is essential in some foods, and I love
    it as much as anyone, but when you seek heat just for the sake of
    outdoing someone else then you end up with food where the heat blanks
    out all other flavors. What's the point? Why not try for the world's
    saltiest food?

  8. opps, sorry, my mouse batteries gave out.

    Someone posted this link on another site about this pepper, gives a bit more
    info than the headline hype.

    I grew some in my garden about 5 years ago. They were all hype and not
    much else. They were no hotter than a really hot jalapeño (as you know,
    jalapeños can be quite variable in heat), and very poor yield, but maybe
    they just don't like this climate -- it was an unusually cool summer
    that year.

    I and most of us had heard about this starting last May - 15
    months ago. The Dorest Naga and Jolikas have been the subject of
    many news stories over the last 15 months.

    It's like every month somebody else discovers it and starts a new
    thread about it.

    I've been waiting for the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe and the jellied
    moose nose recipe. Haven't seen them in over a year.

    How long since moose turd pie has made its way here?

    Maybe he wanted to give it to someone else as a prank.

    I used to keep a bottle of this stuff on hand:

    it's pretty funny. the line reading of 'it's good, though!' is most
    convincing.
