Grown where I live. It's even hotter than the chilli used in grenades by Indian antiterrorist squads.
Infinity chilli info

Anyhow some local resteraunt is cooking some curry with the things and theres some competition on. I'm entering it in the morning.

Here's a vid of some bloke eating the Bhut Jolokia

I enjoy a good curry myself but that looks a bit extreme, hope he's not charging a fortune for milk

I used to indulge in those hot peppers and such quite frequently. Until a friend that owns a pizza joint showed me what they can do to stainless steel. He has to replace his sauce bowls from time to time because they get pinholes in them. That was an eye opener. I still partake, just not as often.

Diarrhea cha cha cha

I've eaten some insanely hot foods in South America, stuff that most Gringos couldn't touch but that Chili sounds deadly.

I've never had a problem the day after hot food, unless it's been bad food.

I'll let you lot know how it goes. I may even video it. I grew up on the balti belt, I've tried a few of these worlds hottest curries before. I cant imagine one from here where peoples tastes are exceptionaly bland being a challenge.
(famous last words eh?)


I particularly liked the bit about going blind for up to 30minutes if you touch your eyes after touching the chilli.


Joe if you want a shocker drop a dirty coin in a glass of coke for a hour. It comes out shining like a new pin.

I love hot food but cannot indulge like I used to anymore. That guy that ate that little piece and went through torture should check out that Indian woman that is linked to his youtube post who ate 60 whole peppers to set the world record. I would not want to be her when she has to go to the bathrooM-OUCH!

There's probably less hyperbole in their promos than you think. i remember working at a place where we made a salsa with one of those extreme peppers, and one of the guys went to the washroom, i guess he didn't think to wash his hands off before he went,and he was screaming after he touched his peepee.

Chili Tasting

Recently I was honored to be selected as an outstanding Famous celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a chili cook-off, because no one else wanted to do it. Also the original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came. 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 scorecards from the event:

Chili # 1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili

JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavour. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy smokes, what the HELL is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took two beers to put the flames out. Hope that's the worst one. These hicks are crazy.

Chili # 2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili

JUDGE ONE: Smoky (barbecue?) with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: S.h.i.t! Keep this away from the 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. Shoved my way to the front of the beer line.

Chili # 3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili

JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.
FRANK: This has got to be a joke. Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now and got out of my way so I could make it to the beer wagon. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest.

Chili # 4: Bubba's Black Magic

JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills to save me the run.

Chili # 5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover

JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, and I can't focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed hurt when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue by pouring beer directly on it. Sort of irritates me that one of the other judges asked me to stop screaming.

Chili # 6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety

JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except Sally.

Chili # 7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili

JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Very Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef threw in canned chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge Number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress.
FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth and pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel it. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My clothes are covered with chili which slid unnoticed out of my mouth at some point. Thank God! At autopsy they'll know what killed me. Have decided to stop breathing, too painful, not getting any oxygen anyway.

Chili # 8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili

JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 fell and pulled the chili pot on top of himself.
FRANK: ------- (editor's note: Judge #3 was unable to report)

Nah wait till you've been in a few raw chilli eating contests with some kebab shop owners.

They are being marketed here in the states as ghost chilies. They are very hot and 2 seedless pods ,reconstituted minced makes a half gallon of sauce.
I run a pork strips with pinneapple and a gingered sweet sour glaze with black seasame seeds ,the ghost chilies add a very distinct flavor as well as being mucho caliente

Gratz isnt the Bhut Jolokia the ghost chilli?

The infinity chilli is said to be hotter.



2 ghosts make 4 and a half pints of sauce, so 1 would presumably make 2 1/4 pints. Perhaps the infinity would make 3 pints.

Thinking of it like that makes it easier to comprehend eating it.

sounds about right, I always have to experiment , Last I head the ghosts were about the same scofield rating as the ones in the article, thats my confusion.
