Wow. We had fried hot jalopeno pepper chips/ slices at lunch. I only had a couple, first must have been milder, but the second one gave one hell of an after bite. I couldn't drink anything to cool down my mouth. Didn't think of that before I ate them. still they were tasty.

[SteveFrett 155]

Suz,

These mini demons are mild, compared to what's out there...look up Bangladesh scorpion. ..hottest known to date!

[SteveFrett 155]

Like I said I grow em to cook with, since banded, hot & spicy kill me. ..trying to keep up with peppers are getting insane, but Bangladesh holds current record

A chili Pequin is native here in Texas. They grow wild and kinda looks like the pepper you posted. Hotter than a jalapeño and Serrano but not as hot as a habenero.

I love spicy food but can't do them since I've been banded either. It feels like a lump of coal in my gut if I eat something to spicy. I can still do most jalapeños though.

[SteveFrett 155]

Wow, native. & wild must look for that one thanks Jeff, jalas are about my level of tolerance now too. Sucks, bit a habenaro last year, was like a wild animal looking for relief....can't wait for my scorpion seeds.... hottest known to date...off the scoville charts

[SteveFrett 155]

Found it pequin pepper 15 - 40 scovilles hotter than jala

I live in San Antonio, TX. home of the 4 horseman burger that you may have seen on Man vs food. A half pound burger with jalapeño,serrano, habenero and ghost chili on it.

I e seen 2 people try to eat it. They get about 2 bites in and start puking for the next hour. I work with a guy that ate it. He said he was in pain for 4 days.

[SteveFrett 155]

I could only imagine he was, I loved hot stuff before band,smallest amount of heat destroys me now, but still cook it, going to order seeds for hottest pepper known Trinidad maruga scorpion, tops out at 2 million scovilles index. People stupid enough to eat them, I'll grow and make my sauces for them.

[TexasJeff 179]

Don't you need a permit from the nuclear regulatory board to grow something like that. Lol.

Be sure to post a video on YouTube if you can find a fool to eat that pepper.

[SteveFrett 155]

Nah, not in NY... lmao. ...oh trust me I will :-D
