Where did you get it?

ROFLMAO!
Some years ago, I had some fun w/a couple of their salesmen involving habaneros. Long story short, I acquired a reputation as someone who 'could eat anything'. Naturally, given this backdrop, when a palette of small boxes of Nagas came in, the salesmen bet me I couldn't eat one.
Fact is -- without my handy-dandy couple of pats of butter stuffed into my cheeks -- there is/was NO WAY, no effing way, that I could have eaten that pepper. Even with the butter (butter, and fats generally, dissolve oleoresin capsicum, which is the 'hot' chemical in this family of pepper, but neither water nor beer will dissolve it), I could barely finish it.
You want to eat Nagas? Just be bloody careful! Murderously hot.
Now we know where Larry London, the chef from the movie “The Freshman” has gone to lure rich afficiados of rare gourmet viands.
Wow, I gotta say, I’m awfully curious about trying a bite.
Where is Cumbria? If there are more than one, which one?
Hungry? ping
It’s the Northwest moust county in England.
Now this guy seems to be an experience pepper eater. It does give one pause....

Nice to have my (once, and ONLY once, trust me!) experience confirmed on video.
Folks, just DO NOT screw around with Nagas, they are ultimate hard-core BRUTAL.
