bitemybanger

Anyone know somwhere that sell them?

Cardinal Richelieu

Just grow them yourself, very easy plant to grow and even one plant can give you a decent supply.

I'm intrigued.

I was staying with a family in Moldova a few years ago. They are big on chillies.

I was showing how much I loved chillies and picked up one ready to take a good bite out of it. The whole table shouted NO!! so I stopped short and the chilli just touched my tongue. My mouth was on fire for hours after. I dread to think what would have happened if I'd taken a bite.

Gloomtastic!

Watching Outragous Food on the Ffod network last night I reckon

The presenters were wearing respirators and gloves just preparing the dried chillis, what's the worst that could happen? :eek:

No, didn't see it, must be a co-incidence.
What's the worst that could happen??.. Have you seen the YouTube videos:eek::D
Anyway I have a friend who reckons I cannot make a hotter curry than him and I just happen to know his ingredients and think he is in for a surprise:D
I'm still none the wiser on where to get my hands in some.

If you really want a hot curry, try getting some Pure Capsaicin.. To put it into context, a Jalapeno is 35,000~ scoville units. Pure Capsaicin is 16 MILLION..

You could buy it here if you wanted to: http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=pure+capsaicin+crystal&source=web&cd=16&ved=0CIYBEBYwDw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chileseeds.co.uk%2Fchilli_sauces.htm&ei=IRQOT_72L4eFhQe-lpWdBA&usg=AFQjCNHi94DdZvfvc2-VmlOEjt3iUzLpdw&sig2=CE8d9sSpkzsTAFRrW4Ca6Q

But here's a video of someone um, "testing" it.. I can guarantee you that this curry will be hotter than your friend's..

If you do manage to get yours hands on some, be sure to record your friend (or anyone for that matter) that ends up tasting your curry!

Some of the Youtube videos are hilarious. Adam Richman from Man v Food didn't seem to bad after he tried one though (well at least compared to other people!)

Oh I will and I'll stick it up here when I do:D
I've seen a few of the videos and they are very funny.
Also a fan of Man v food. That man is insane. Serious appatite.

Cool,how long ago did you get them there? I'll have a look in JC's as I'll be over that way during the week but if they're not there I'd be delighted to get one from you. Cheers
I presume they were fresh when you bought them if you dried them yourself?

Yep , they were fresh in a little tub . They are bloodyHOT . I'll ask the guy in charge of fruit and veg to get a pack in for you . They got them and all it said on the pack was "very hot" , they had people coming back after nearly killing their families with them .I knew what they were and treated them with the respect they deserve . Drop me a PM with contact details .

I bought this for the brother for christmas, only (only!) 1,000,000 on the scoville scale. Packs an unbelievable punch, taste good too though.

Thanks for the tip... got some there today for the OH He seems very excited! He loves all things hot... the heat of a korma is about my limit though :P

Just a quick update , picked up a punnett of Naja Jolokia in JC's in Swords today .

nuckeythompson

just an update, fallon and byrne have both ghost chilli and the red scorpian which is actually stronger
tried a whole one raw and i was not right for a good 30 mins after. i cooked with it too and to be honest they are kind of pointless as they are way too hot. they are good for a challenge and thats about it
my a** is still stinging me
