She obviously has no clue about food and absolutely should have an assistant in the grocery store. [B]BUT[B], if you REALLY REALLY REALLY want a hot pepper, go for #1, the Bhut Jolokia. Weighs in at just a tad over 1,000,000 SHU's (Scoville Heat Units). This has been recorded by the Chile Institute at New Mexico State University (the #1 authority on chiles in the world) and the Guinness Book of Records.The new record holder for hottest pepper is the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Blend. It has over two millon Scoville heat units, also certified at New Mexico State University, in February 2012. That means it's two hundred and fifty times hotter than a jalapeno.
Love habaneros in my chili and bbq sauce by the way. Originally Posted by chefnerd
