What's the hottest pepper you've tried?

I only had sauce made of Carolina ripper and Trinidad moruga scorpion, it was about 300000 scovilles

I had some ghost pepper cheese once. Mediocre cheese but pretty spicy

I had a scorpion once. My favorite for cooking is thai chili though. I really disagree that scorpions are 10-20 times hotter than thai chili. I make papaya salad with 10-15 thai chili and eating the entire plate of that at once would be so much more painful than a scorpion. We usually share it between a couple people and then eat other things with it.

Never the actual pepper but I have a sauce that is 40% carolina reaper and it is the hottest thing I've ever ingested, also impossible to adapt to

[Anonymous No.18270202]

I made a chili with one carolina reaper once, it was hot but not unbearable. The hottest I use regularly is habanero, I use it a lot in my cooking in general because the flavour is so good.

>burgers call them peppers
>genus is capsicum
>oddly call the fruit a "pepper"
peppercorn is the real pepper. Learn english mutts.

Did a similar thing, too. It was a shame because even in small amounts where it wasn't even that hot it would give me indigestion.

habanero is the hottest i know the name of but my sister tricked me into eating some crazy ass little pepper from a small bush my grandmother was growing and motherfucker that was unrelentingly hot and so much hotter then a habanero.
I have tried to find it but no luck

I have no idea where it would be on this scale but the hotest thing I've eaten is those Samyang 2x spicy noodles

This shit is not even enjoyable as food, it's just a pain test to see how much bland pepper spray you can shove in your mouth. Actual spicy ramen is great

[Anonymous No.18270547]

You have to dilute it a bunch to actually have it taste good. First time I ate it I didn't dilute it at all and it was awful. God fucking knows how bad the limited edition 4x spicy they released tasted.

i hate the majority of spicy food because of that, i like my home cooked spicy meals but store bought stuff is pure capsicum

I think the hottest ive had was a salsa made with jalapenos, serranos, and habaneros. Or a habanero hotsauce from a mexican grocery store.

Ive wanted to make my Cincinnati Chili recipe with a really hot one, like a ghost pepper or carolina reaper. I think id cut it in half, discard the innarxs, and then cook it in the chili so each half can be identified and removed easily before serving. Lol

I ate a whole naga morich while young and drunk once. just popped it in my mouth and chewed it up like an olive, chased it with beer.
It was fucking awful, 20 minutes of pure pain I couldn't even see. Never again.

[Anonymous No.18270653]

>>18270495
This same exact thing happened to me too. My friend was showing me his pepper garden and told me I could try whatever I wanted. I picked and ate a little tiny pepper I've never seen before and it fucked me up for like an hour.

[Anonymous No.18270699]

I had a hot chicken sandwich that had Carolina Reaper in the rub. I only ate about half of it. That shit actually hurt, like my face went numb and swelled up a bit.

I'll usually cook with habaneros including the stems and seeds and that usually ends up bretty good. Anything hotter I have a hard time finding in grocery stores. I wish I could find something just a bit hotter. Once you start involuntarily crying, you are past enjoyable, so just underneath that is ideal IMO.

>why did they use a simple color gradient in the shape of a pepper to indicate the increasing spiciness

[Anonymous No.18270879]

Are any of the super hot peppers actually good or are they just novelties because of their spice level?

[Anonymous No.18270908]

>>18270102
Hottest where habanero/scotch bonnet/madam jeanette and equivalents. okay depending on how they're used.
Hottest I enjoy without context but in a meal are cayenne heat.
Hottest I enjoy on their own are bell peppers and sweet pointed paprikas.
Fuck thinking hotter is better for no reason.

[Anonymous No.18270923]

i feel like they actually detract from any other flavor

ghostpepper flakes, like putting them on pizza

[Anonymous No.18271007]

Reaper. But habanero is a good cutoff for me before flavor gets drowned out

[Anonymous No.18271017]

As an italian I see we have some and it doesnt surprise me so I guess we are exempted from the "white people cant eat spicy" meme. I say this beacuse when my afircan american female friend came over we had to get late night panini and I told her "do you want ketchup or mayo or any other sauce" she told me "hell no mayo is some white people bland shit" and I told her fuck that and I understood that pulp fiction scene

[Anonymous No.18271040]

Scotch bonnets are the hottest one that actually taste great

[Anonymous No.18271047]

>>18270653
Maybe a Thai bird chili. They're called Thai bird chilis because birds in Thailand eat them, they can't feel the heat

Ive had trinidad scorpion on a burger once, ate some bhut jolokias, but I think ghost pepper sauce was the most grueling experience i've had with capscisin. really just depends on how well the pepper is grown rather than what it's called

Carolina reaper

>>18270102
Bar I hung out in had a 80% rum with carolina reapers macerating in it. Did a few shots over the years. Not a good time but doable. Although I saw some people come close to the hospital after one shot of that

this is true. scotch bonnet and some varieties of habanero are the last ones with good flavor as well as substantial heat. my favorites are thai bird chili in terms of flavor/heat balance. they're good if you harvest them while they're still green as well, slice thinly and serve raw with noodle soups or on sandwiches etc

>>18271431
i had a very small white and purple bhut jolokia in india once that was so hot it got me high, it released a bunch of endorphins. didn't get me sick or anything though. the other two i remember were a tiny round purple one, like half the size of a cherry tomato that was kind of smoky flavored and was very painful, and a tiny (maybe 1cm long) pointed neon orange one which had a fruity flavor and a delayed onset but ended up being the hottest of them all. i'm not sure these peppers even have English names, it was on a permaculture farm/food jungle outside bangalore and the indian guys were having a great time feeding us whiteys super hot peppers and seeing our reactions. the little orange one was so hot it made me jump in the river to get relief.

Growing some ghost peppers so I'll be trying those when they're ready.
Hottest I've had are just habeneros which were tolerable.
I'm having second thoughts about the ghost peppers man, that shit almost looks so hot it's not enjoyable.

[Anonymous No.18272112]

What peppers should I grow for making hot sauce? I want good flavor with moderate heat, nothing too spicy.

I tried the Carolina reaper challenge a couple times. Beat it once.
They taste terrible, burn like hell, and destroy my guts when I have to shit. I'll never do it again.

A buddy dared me to eat a reaper and chase it with everclear.
I spent the night and next day puking and shitting liquid fire. My asshole was ablaze, but my sinuses were even worse after puking.

[Anonymous No.18272838]

What's that red, roundish, bumpy/pox-marked-lookin' one that looks like it has a tail? Cuz that one. Friend of mine gave me one. Made hot sauce out of it. It's very, very hot. Definitely the hottest I've cooked with. While I could handle the heat, the amount of it drowns out all other flavours so I don't think I'll use it again. I'll just stick to bonnets/jeanettes/lanterns. They're plenty hot but also tasty.

>destroy my guts
Is this an American thing? I eat spicy stuff near constantly and never have any poopoo problems but I live in Ameriland now and people here remark about how "hot" food fucks up their insides and/or gives them "the runs" and are generally shocked by the amount of chilli I eat and cook with.

Chile de Arbols are normally the hottest things I mess with and my go to heat pepper for chili paste but I have had various things with Habanero or jerk with Scotch Bonnets, anything substantially hotter than those are memes and not real food

its not the spiciness that's wrecking their guts, often unscrupulous immigrants use spoiled meat and cover the rank taste with spices.
So when unsuspecting humans try to eat Mexican food they get sick and assume it was the peppers because their ass is burning but really that is from their pancreas dumping

If you knew anything about history you'd know that when Colombus brought chilies to Europe, they became an alternative to black pepper which was very popular, and they thus called it pepper.
