Beware of the 'Scotch Bonnet'

We just got back from vacation down in the Carribean.. Went out for pizza one afternoon, and I had them put 'some' Scotch Bonnets on mine so I could try them out. (they are on every menu in sauces, etc.) NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN. :o :o :o

3 slices, 4 beers, 2 glasses of water and a whole lotta milk the next morning. :o

Pat, now that was awesome.......... I truly couldn't stop laughing. LMAO!!!

I remember a few years ago when a co-worker of my wife brought some back from Saint Thomas, if I remember correctly, and dared me to try them.

They did warn me that these peppers were about 50x hotter than jalapeno peppers. SURE!

Stupid me................

Well let's just say I can relate.

The beer and water just made the heat hotter.

Milk? Yes plenty of it.

Like I said - I LMAO!!!!

Honestly I got heartburn reading that.

Well Scotch Bonnets are a new one to me and I think I will pass. The wife and I love Tai food and they have some hot ground peppers, but I go very lightly with it. I have enough difficulty talking with a tongue.

In case you couldn't understand my poor attempt at whatever it was I attempted to say (above), Scotch Bonnets are a very slightly different variety of the same species as Habaneros. They're essentially interchangeable and equally vicious. I use both often, but very judiciously.

I'was in New Orleans when Squirt sent me a text telling me he had ordered a pizza with the dreaded Scotch Bonnet on it. I turned to Jan and said "You are not going to believe this"!

I knew they were hot, but not WEAPONS GRADE hot.. Lesson learned!

We did however run across a 'hot slaw' that MrsSTC had on a fish sammich. It had a definite zing, but wasn't overpowering at all. They used SBs to spike the vinegar that was then tossed with the chopped bell pepper/carrot/onion 'relish'. Might try that in some small controlled tests. ;)

your a much braver man than me. hope your feeling alright.

You have given me a education on a variety I was not familiar with, thanks. That is too hot for me, and I love hot spicey stuff.

I use to make a wing sauce from those. It was for some freinds of mine who loved everything hotter then Hades. I looked like i was working with biohazardous materials when I made the sauce. Long gloves, googles, respirator the whole nine yards. I could only do it outside as the smell would empty the house and keep it vacant for the day. LOL I tried the sauce a couple of times but way to hot for me
