Oh pan....gotta share! I love to eat hot peppers. I started with jalapenos at the the age of 3!!! I would eat them like candy straight out the jar. Now jalapenos aren't too hot but you gotta look at the age, lol....I was 3 years old!! I've had quite a few hot peppers in my time.....tempted to try the reaper.
Where do you get the ghost peppers? I cant seem to find them locally. Do you order them online?
I dont think its offical on the books yet but i read that. I just forgot to post the linkI believe you are right, friend. The bhutlah now holds the record.
I have zero issues eating jalapenos. But i feel them apon exiting
. I wonder how bad a reaper would feel...

Haha. Best to eat one on the weekend when i dont need to be at work. xD
I decided a few weeks ago that if my future E. Sp. Red breeding project goes well, I would send out free samples of the salsa (as a celebration of success) to select members on the three forums. That is the only thing I will say on the culinary masterpiece.
I have an uncle that lives in San Antonio Tx that sends them to me. I am going to try growing some myself this year. (I'll grow them in a greenhouse, as humidity could be an issue). I believe my uncle is bringing seeds with him when he comes up north soon (along with some more good food).
That's cool you have a family member who ships them to you. What pepper have you grown so far?
Cerrano, jalapeño and a few others that I can't remember right now.
Very cool!
I found my ghost pepper as a nursery plant about 3 to 4 inches tall at a local farm supply store/feed and seed store
Are you sure you can handle it, even just smelling the salsa is brutal to the victims....cough....oh, I mean taste testersI think you should make some, send it to me and let me you tube it....
Maybe, at least until they find out they could've left whenever they wanted
i'm one of those that would rather be able to taste my food with the heat, so habenero is about as hot as i go. However you gotta try them once right? So be prepared my lips turned red and were swollen for about an hour, the burn from the ghost pepper lasted a good 30 agonizing minutes, don't drink or try and get the burn to leave by any of the housewives remedies (sugar, baking soda, etc.), it just makes it worse.
ghost peppers suck
Oh and wear gloves if you're preparing the pepper for cooking, nitril gloves not the cotton kitchen gloves, and don't get any of the raw juice near your face, the ghost pepper is the most commonly used pepper for the base of military grade pepper spray.
And the one thing to remember, use less, the heat increases over time. So if you make like a chili dish and use the ghost to spice it up, then put the left overs in the fridge for a quick dinner a few days later, that quick dinner will be hotter than the original meal. This is true with all chili peppers though, they mature and increase in heat. So if you're looking for the hottest possible heat from your pepper, use it at it's ripest state, just before it starts to turn bad.
