What Sunday morning would be complete without a Ghost Chilli Omlette????

The heat from the Ghost Pepper starts off slowly and then builds, but it doesn't stop, it just keeps building, but the pepper does have really great flavor, somewhat of a cross between a carrot and an onion. I've eaten some hot things in my lifetime, but these peppers are HOT!!!!

just as a raw jalapeno is far spicier than a cooked "jalapeno popper", cooking them does kill off a good amount of the heat. i'm curious where you bought them, as i've never seen them in any of the local supermarkets.

you need to put on some gloves next time!

that looks like some yummy vegetarian fare. we've got a serano plant that we eat probably 6 peppers per day off of, and a chili paquin that cranks out the peppers. i would love to get a ghost puting out some good fruit. your pics made me HONGRAY.

One Christmas, my friend gave me a piece of a pizza he got at a restaurant the night before without telling me what it was but it had tomato sauce made with the oils of ghost peppers plus generous amounts of cayenne powder and was topped with slices of ghost pepper. Mind you this wasn't fresh at all and cooked so it took away some of the heat. I took a huge bite out of it thinking it was a normal pizza with jalapenos on it and soon my mouth and throat were on fire and my eyes were watery and it took a couple of liters of water and milk and 30 minutes before it was on a tolerable level of pain.
Anyway for the fans of hot stuff, the spiciest cuisines I have tried are Thai and authentic Mexican. Now the difference between the two is that I was given a choice of what level of spiciness I wanted with my Thai food at the Thai restaurants I have been to (sometimes tried the mild stuff and sometimes tried the hot stuff) but the authentic Mexican restaurant I went to gave no warning to the fact they put extremely spicy chili peppers in their food.

You're at the top of the Scoville Pepper Scale. Once step below pure pepper spray. You can't find a pepper anywhere in the world that is hotter. That's quite the accomplishment.

I LOVE ghost peppers! That flavor you get for the first 40 or so seconds is amazing. Then it's a half hour of pure unrelenting pain. Wonderful stuff. I order mine by the 1/4 lb from a greenhouse in Florida but only when in season. Out of season peppers of this and similar types can run up to $40 per pod. If one has a good freezer, they can be frozen fresh with no damage to the fire or the meat of the pepper. I like to slice mine with a very sharp knife no thicker than a millimeter but preferebly as thin as paper, then put them on pork bahn mi. They also go really good in pho.

Not quite. Just earlier this year a stable variant of a hotter pepper unseated the ghost pepper. The Trinidad Scorpion is a few hundred thousand SHU hotter than the ghost. Not that anyone would ever notice though.

Latex gloves are no good for protection against the oil of the pepper. You need good nitrile gloves to handle them. What I do is keep a cut lemon around and after handling the peppers with my bare hands, I just throughly rub the lemon on my fingers, making sure to use the peel as well. The lemon oil will dilute the pepper's oil and the sugars in the juice will help neutralize the capsaicin.

If you think a pepper is too hot, just stick a tablespoon of sugar in your mouth and hold it there. The sugar helps to reduce the potency of the feeling of the capsaicin. I prefer using thick beers for this purpose. Unfermented sugars remaining in many beers help to quench the fire.

Enjoy!

Never had one of those in an omelet. Looks yummy

I think this is what you have, and that sir is the most insanely hot pepper you can ever eat.

btw - I bet your sewage system is squeaky clean

can we run our cars on this?

or would this be energy to work on our cars when it's getting cold outside?

perhaps an alternative to glow plugs?

or block heater?

Scientifically it won't work. Being a botanist it's time for me to geek out a bit. Only mammals have the receptors that detect the heat. Birds don't register the capsaisin. Thats usually who eats them as then disperse the seeds via poo.
