The Hottest Chilli?
Some WWW sites say that the Red Savina is the hottest. Some say the
Habanero, Scotch bonnet or sometimes the Naga Jolokia. So what really *is* the hottest chilli? |

Years ago we went to dinner at a Thai restaurant with another couple. We had mussels with two different hot dipping sauces. My wife and her friend thought that one sauce was much hotter than the other, but the husband and I thought the other sauce was hotter. |

It could be caused by differing sensitivities to the various capsaicinoids in chili peppers. There are six different ones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin#Capsaicinoids |

Then again, maybe the cross-posting troll has his taste in his ass? Maybe he should boil some peppers with oil to find out Jill |

It rates 923,000 scovies. Here's a list of hot chillies: Dorset Naga: 923,000 Red Savina habanero: 577,000 Scotch bonnet: 100,000-325,000 Jamaican hot pepper: 100,000-200,000 Cayenne pepper: 30,000-50,000 Jalapeno pepper: 2,500-8,000 Dragonblaze |

That pepper probably was a birdseye chile. For Thai cooking, I prefer
Thai Dragon or a chile that they call prik ki nu (rat turd chile, translated). From what I know, the hottest chile pepper so far cultivated would be the jolokias from India. On the Scoville scale, they are a few times more powerful than the habenero. Cheers!

Scottie,
They were obviously playing a trick on us!!! Ex didn't fall for it. I did. Good friends, no matter! I lived, after a couple minutes! Probably why I dropped the hot pepper habit. Best, Andy Arcata, once or twice. Scottie said... > That pepper probably was a birdseye chile.

Gourmet August 2008 has a good article about hot vs. hotter chilis. This is really well written by a guy who trekked all the way to the middle of nowhere (Tibet?) to taste the Jolokia. Their little chart says: Bhut Jolokia, from India, 1,001,304 Scoville Units Dorset Naga, from England (?!?!?!), 878884 Scoville Units Red Savina Habanero, from California, 577,000 Scoville Units Santaka, from Japan, 100,000 Scoville Units Jalapeno, from Mexico, 8000 Scoville Units Ancho, from Turkey, 1800 Scoville Units There's another (very funny) article in (either) Bon Appetit (in the August issue?) or in Gourmet's August issue by a guy who farms chilis in PA and sells 'em at Farmers' Markets. They're worth a trip to your public library. Lynn Armchair Traveler in Fargo |
