New World's Hottest Chili

MSNBC reports on the new World's Hotest Chili Pepper. "Around here, in the hills of northeastern India, it’s called the 'bhut jolokia' — the 'ghost chili'. Anyone who has tried it, they say, could end up an apparition." It's almost twice as hot as a habanero.



"When you eat it, it’s like dying. The smallest morsels can flavor a sauce so intensely it’s barely edible. Eating a raw sliver causes watering eyes and a runny nose. An entire chili is an all-out assault on the senses, akin to swigging a cocktail of battery acid and glass shards."

Yum.
