Seriously. I’m South Asian and I don’t get it. In America we spell it "chili". That's all. "Chilli" is a little confusing for us, because, oddly, "chilly" means cold! What part of South Asia are you from? I've lived in India, Pakistan for years and Nepal for a short while. Never made it to Sri Lanka or Bangladesh, though. >> The0ne said, on June 26th, 2009 at 8:28 am

I even saw one such break-out. It was terrifying because they could irrationally turn on me for looking different, even though I was just walking by. It occurred to me, at the time, that an M-80 tightly packed inside a bag of chilli power would be a cheap, arguably legal, effective way to disperse a mob ready to beat you to death.

Doesn't take much to spice up a pot of chili. I think Dave's Insanity is right up there with that and After Death is a good one, too. Some are so hot they are unbearable and say so on the bottle. #6, #7, there are some sauces made from distilled habaneros that reach 1M scovilles. Doesn’t take much to spice up a pot of chili.

The jalokias hover around 1000K. Personally, habaneros are hot enough for me. If you want something hotter and can't find jalokias you can always use dave's insanity hot sauce... I don't know what its scoville equivalent is but it has capsaicin added to it, so it's way hotter than any naturally grown peppers than I've personally tried.

Why not habenero or scotch bonnets? That’ll put a zing in your step.</i> I think when the Indians say "ordinary kitchen peppers" they're talking habanero-class hot already. Those jaloka peppers are much much hotter than habaneros. Only 1,000 times hotter? Why not habenero or scotch bonnets? That’ll put a zing in your step.
