The Bhut Jolokia Chilli Challenge (part 2)

by BhutJolokia on January 19, 2011

I’ve been growing a Bhut Jolokia plant in the office for the past few months. For those not up-to-speed with the world of chilli peppers, the Bhut Jolokia is the holder of the world record for “hottest chilli”, and is rated at over 1000000 scoville units. For comparison, Tabasco sauce is around 2000 scovilles… So obviously, a bunch of us decided it would be a good idea to eat one.

How many Naga Bih Jolokia’s can you eat? :D

These guys took just bits and pieces of NJ.And the guy removed the pith and the seeds which are the hottest part of a pepper.
you should see me eating these on a daily basis.
Tasting them for fun like this is ok. It gives you an elecrtifying idea about its hotness. But I eat the chutney pickle of these twice a day.
NJ Keeps me healthy and going at 60 years age.

The trick lies in method of consumption.
Anyone interested can post a reply to me.

Come on rcpinchey – at least eat more than just a sliver. Try half the pepper and get one of your buddies to film that. THAT would be good! :)

@Doom2pro I just named the video from what it said on the packet.. Reading latest pages from google; The naga bih jolokia has now been awarded a place in the guiness book of records as the world’s hottest chilli. This chilli can reach over 1 million SHUs and will burn even the most experienced chillihead. Quite confusing trying to find what is what! :)

There are only three types of “Hottest Pepper in the world”, the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper), the Bih Jolokia (Poision Pepper) and the Naga Jolokia (From Nagaland India). There is no such thing as a “Naga Bih Jolokia”.
