Scorpion Bite

B-I-L brought me a present the other day. Hoping to get some seeds from it and grow them for some Trinidad Scorpion Bite sauce.

I am Thinking more on the lines of a Bhut Jaloca (Sp) also known as a Ghost Chili

It is known as the Trinidad Scorpion. Reportedly now the hottest pepper, edging out the Naga.

Looks very similar to the habanero or scotch bonnet.

Cripes my eyes started to burn and my mouth hurts just from looking at the pic. :'(

That's a big sucker for a hot one...I always associate the really hot suckers to relatively small? Is that stupid?

In general, the smaller and pointier the pepper the hotter, but as nature will have it consistancy is not always there. Also these days, the way they are manipulating vegetable species you can now buy mini-sweet bell peppers (green, red and yellow) that are smaller than jalapenos.

Yeah...I like those mini bell peppers...they are great to stuff for appetizers...but dang the scorpion looks scary as hell!!!

Giz...what are you gonna do with that thing?

rdevous · August 15, 2011, 08:31:17 AM

I'd hate to think about biting into one of those as an ABT!!! :o :o :o

Hopefully harvest the seeds, plant, and grow more for Scorpion Sauce.
