What is it about us as a species that we strive to create hotter chile peppers. Glory? Challenge? The need to experience extremes of pleasure and pain? While not yet universally confirmed as the world's hottest pepper, researchers at Warwick University testing the recently-revealed Naga Viper found it to measure 1,359,000 on the Scoville scale, 357,696 SHU (Scoville Heat Units) higher than the Bhut Jolokia (1,001,304 SHU).

"The hottest pepper I see as kind of the same thing as growing the biggest pumpkin," noted Regents Professor Paul Bosland, Director of the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University. The earliest the Institute would be able to give their official declaration would be the summer of 2011 after growing the Naga Viper and the Bhut Jolokia side-by-side in replicated trials.

I love a little heat in my food, i.e. Sriracha, Japanese togarashi pepper, jalapenos, etc... but something that can kill your DNA with one poisonous touch is a bit much.

I like mushrooms! Crimini, oyster, chanterelles, enoki, etc...
