I wasn't quite sure how hot they would be, but the recomendation was to handle them with gloves on, which I did.
I cut a small sliver off, and dabbed it on the tip of my tongue. Immediatly, I could feel the heat, and it quickly spread all over my mouth, which started to salivate to put the fire out!
I don't recomend anyone eat these!
A friend decided to try it too, as she loves chillis, and reconked she would easily be able to handle it. She was wrong! Her tongue came up in strange bumps, and later in the evening, her skin became blotchy :-) That'll teach her!
Anyway, I have harvested the seeds, and will be planting some more next year. However, I will be planting them quite soon, as they seemed to take quite a while to grow, as you can see from the picture below taken in September last year, they seem to take a while to ripen

I might be showing my ignorance here, but do these things have a pirpose? if you cant eat them do they do another job, and if not, why are you planting some more (not taking the piss am genuinely interested as i have never heard of them)
Well, they certainly speed up the time taken to make chilli vodka! I put some in a half filled bottle, and 3 hours later, the vodka was well chillied!
Im growing them mainly because they are the hottest in the world - I was just curious as to how hot they were
As a foot note to this post, I tried a very small immature one yesterday, and it was quite hot, so I posted 3 to my mate Tony to try. I must have pulled my trousers up a little later, because I found my mid-riff was all blotchy and itchy - and that was just a small one!
reminds me of a bbq we went to once at my mate andys house. there we were all sat around the patio having a drink and eating burgers etc. when he suddenly remembered a xmas present he had been bought. he went in to find it, it was a barbecue kit (fish shaped clamp skewers etc) but included in the pack was a bottle of sauce, which had the words "The hottest sauce in the world" well he proceeded to put a big blob onto a burger and by big blob i mean bloody big blob. he had had a drink and was determined to test this boast of the worlds hottest sauce. me being me decided to read the bottle before i tried it, and just as he was about to take a bite of the burger i spotted the instructions, ANDY NO DONT BITE IT i shouted but...............too late, no sooner had his teeth chomped on said burger did it shoot straight back out and landed on the patio, he then downed about 3 pints of water and could still feel the heat and the burns 3 days later, what had i read on the bottle? "one drop to be placed into a casserole or stew, under no circumstances must this sauce be eaten directly on food". we still laugh about it now, and the spot on the patio where it landed was as clean the next day as it would be after a bloody good steam clean.
My mate Neil once smeared this Death Sauce in my swimming trunks. THis is something I certainly don't recommend anyone try it!
