I guess it was only a matter of time, but yet again – the ‘sizzle level’ has been raised up a notch and the World Record looks as if it could be soon under new ownership.
Officially (according to the Guinness World Record), the Naga Viper is the world’s hottest at a crazy 1.38 million Scoville Units. But the team at the Chili Factory in New South Wales Australia look to have outdone it! According to the Sydney Morning Herald on 12 April 2011, the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T. as it is has known has been tested and measured 1.46 million scoville units.
Of course, this yet needs verification by Guinness, but it looks as if the record could be heading ‘Down Under’.
The experience has been likened to ‘applying a soldering iron to tongue and throat!’ The grower, Marcel De Wit offered little in suggestion when asked how to use them in cooking, simply explaining ‘sparingly’………
Even we may give that one a miss
