My mother in law was born in India and pops raw chillis into her mouth while she is cooking.

I admire her for that.

She's still a beeyatch, though...

If she does that with "The Scotch" then I wish to visit her and bow down in her presence.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Don't cry Daggers (cos then you'll rub your eyes and OW OW OW!!!)

I do love Jalepenoes and eat them pickled (always demand extra at the cinema with me nachos)

I once saw a TV program that said the reason that peppers are so hot is that it is a defence mechanism and that no animal will eat them... except humans, who are stupid

PS, don't go to the loo any time soon

Ask? No chance, I'll get him to demonstrate instead.

Made the mistake of using them in my fajitas one day.

That wasn't the mistake... the real mistake was forgetting to wear a HAZMAT suit to do it...

My eyes were on fire... my nostrils were actually alight... and a trip to the toilet caused me some discomfort. :pinch:

On the Scoville scale (the scale measuring the 'hotness' of chillis) there aren't many hotter. It's considerably hotter than your average chili/pepper. I'm sure when I've had them the packet said to wear gloves when handling. Mind, they say that for bog standard ones too.

I've also seen recipes where they say to put them in the sauce while it cooks but remove before eating as they're so hot. Having minced one up to put in a jerk paste I can vouch for their fire.

Too hot for me, I'm afraid.

It was incredible.

I only touched them briefly but everytime I put my fingers in my mouth it burned my tongue - and I'm no pussy when it comes to spicey stuff. I have a feeling this oil is going to be awsome.

As it says on the Wiki page:

Eating whole, raw scotch bonnet peppers is not advised for those unaccustomed to eating very spicy food. Eaten raw, these peppers are also known to cause dizziness, numbness of hands and cheeks, and severe heartburn.

That's amazing. How do you make this oil with them in?

I think it's actually as simple as getting some of the little f**kers and letting them sit in a bottle of oil. Maybe get the seeds out and let them float around a bit. I'm sure Dave will be able to provide a more culinary explanation.

I haven't actually met anyone who can take the level of heat I can. I'm an animal. A vindaloo-scoffing, phaal-rogering animal.

Bottle of extra-virgin, in with a few slices of the SB's, pop in a load of feisty little red ones...leave for a couple of weeks and you have a bastard hot oil for cooking or turning into spicy salad dressings.

Maybe this forum should have a cooking thread...
