Eating the Bhut Jolokia: like having birth contractions – Salivation Station

 

Eating the Bhut Jolokia

Welcome to Salivation Station. Turn the channel to Internet food video bites, for your one-way ticket to endless salivation.

I love spicy food. I love spicy stuff so much that I’m starting to wonder if I’m some sort of masochist, sometimes chomping into tiny, raw hot peppers just to see how hot they are. Probably the hottest pepper I’ve ever eaten raw was a Habanero, which is something between 100-350k on the Scoville scale. Really freaking hot … or at least I thought, until I read about the notorious Naga Jolokia pepper (sometimes also called the “Bhut Jolokia” or “Ghost” pepper). That sucker weighs in at over 1 million Scovilles!

This brave soul decided to take a Bhut Jolokia for a spin and post the video telling his gruesome tale. Stick around until the end — it’s worth it.

That mythical “Habanero Gold Bullet” he talks about appears to be somewhat real in that you can buy seeds for it. I’m tempted to buy the seeds and see if I can grow a plant. There goes that masochism again….
