Whoa...That's Hot


One of the rig crew came by with some homemade jerky that he was sharing with all willing to "dare" take a piece. Never being reluctant when it comes to trying food, I of course took sample.

My mouth still burns.

This jerky was made with the infamous Ghost Pepper. It is THE hottest pepper in the world.

It is pretty hot.



Maybe the old adage of not taking food from strangers is good advice...

Oh my heck! I would die, I'd just friggin' die.

And no, I'm not being melodramatic. Just honest.

I do not wish to "one-up" you here Zach but, as one who tried the jerky also (and a proud member of Team IntelliSteak), I feel that it is my reposibility to introduce you to your next "challenge." An internet article that I came across recently stated that the "Ghost Chili" has been dethroned as the hottest. The "Naga Viper" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_Viper) is now claiming to be the "kind" of hot peppers. I think we need to find you some :-)
We will need to find some for you to try....and then some ice cubes to follow:-)
We need to go back and have the "burger" again.
Happy holidays Zach Daddy!!
