Not a chance.
I’ve eaten “hot” food in the UK.
Taco Bell is much spicier.
I have the ghost pepper sea salt. I was told when they are making it the workers wear gas masks.
I like it a lot.
Brits are among the biggest bunch of pussies in the world. The snowflake capital is the UK. No way they could handle a green pepper. Much less a ghost pepper.
Pay wall. No thanks
We are all born with our own tastebuds and, in this case, food environment. Some people can eat these 'top' Scoville winners BUT I am CONVINCED that the only reason that the 'Carolina Reaper' exists is for those Southern Boys to say; "Here, hold my beer and watch this!"
Me? I draw the line at Habaneros, I grew up on South Texas meals! Beyond that and I am DEAD!
They have been growing peppers hotter than Ghost Peppers in Britain for years. Death Spirals are a British pepper. Komodo Dragons, Carolina Reapers and Armageddon peppers are sold at Tesco. Whoever wrote this article is totally clueless.
That ghost pepper only has a Scoville heat unit of: 1,041,427 SHU; the hottest one is the Carolina Reaper at 2,200,000 SHU
i bought a thing of Carolina Reaper peanuts, and without doubt, the hottest thing i’ve ever eaten with real Thai being the hottest
throw one into a bowl of ramen and rice and it’s still pretty sporty
I grow them and put them in my tomatillo salsa.
I see another dumb TikTok challenge coming from this.
“India’s ‘Ghost Pepper’ Chilli Is so Hot Villagers Use it to Repel Elephants. Will Britain Be Able to Handle It?”
India’s ‘Ghost Pepper’ Chilli Is so Hot Villagers Use it to Repel Elephants. Will anyone Be Able to Handle It?
There, fixed it
They are incredibly hot, they even look hot!
Agree. I have three f them on the bush right now. They’re finally ripe. The first one that came off the plant was “WTH are you thinking?” hot. Once you get past the heat, the flavor is tropical, similar to a habanero or sweet pepper.
It’s chile, not chilli, or chilli.
When I use it, I tap a very light dusting. And that’s IT! Occasionally, a small clump gets through, and HELLS BELLS me sweat rolls out!!
I don’t like my food to hurt me.
Does Britain have an elephant problem?
That they are. Then again, so are Trinidad scorpions and Pepper X's... I have sauces from all three.
Some mention of Indian and Thai cuisine on this thread. But once I stopped at a Peruvian restaurant on I-15 in Utah (which is not there anymore), and ordered a pasta dish on the menu that was portrayed, very accurately, as spicy. It was the spiciest thing I have ever eaten. I can’t remember the name of the type of pepper that was used, but it if anyone knows I would appreciate your mentioning it, because I would like to buy it to use it, in much smaller amounts, in my own cooking.
