A word of warning to anyone who has one of these little suckers sitting on the work surface (as I have following Malvern).

Before even thinking of using it, go to http://www.worldshottestchilli.com/ec/w ... /home.html and have a read.

The bit about industrial strength apron, gloves and goggles plus a mask to enable breathing is just a bit scary.

Hi Chantal and anyone else who had a dorset narga chilli form me . They are scarily hot . Dont say I didnt warn you! My husband ,who seems to have an asbestos lined mouth, says they have beaten him (and he dosent like admitting defeat)
Enjoy or not

I'm a bit nervous about even getting the seeds out to grow some next year. Having said that, why grow them if I can't eat them.

The jury's still out on this one.

Sounds deadly. Think I'll stick to my Hungarian Wax chillis. I may be destined to burn in Hell at a later date but don't want to have a dress rehearsal here on this planet.

Normal attire for you isn't it Chantal?

What sort of mask though?

B&Q sanders mask?

Full gas-mask?

Ex army NBC suit?

NuclearBiologicalChemical.

If you have to wear that little lot to prepare it, is it really worth eating?

Peter. How many times to I have to tell you; those photos are PRIVATE!

Ok Chantall, lets move quickly on from those photos.

"why grow them if I can't eat them?"

That's a good point. I still have a large bag of Scotch Bonnett peppers in the freezer that I grew 2 years ago. Half of one in a curry is too much, so I can't see me ever using them all up (except maybe for getting rid of bindweed.......or patty pans!)

Well - as the proud owner of one of these from Seedling - it looks pretty. Maybe I won't eat it though.
