Had a tasting session thisarvo.
First up was the ripe Devils Tongue. Cut a nice slice and chewed it up.
BANG! Instant punch in the throat! then the lips and front of the mouth was attacked. My tingue sizzled for a while and i drooled lots. Way hotter than a habanero. I can eat habs whole but a 5mm slice had me dancing. Great flavour. Tasted fruity with a lemon/spicy character. Great chilli packing a fantastic assult of heat and flavour.
Had a 15 min break and cut the ripe 7 Pod in half for a look. Lots of yellow placental tissue. smelt similar to the Bhuts but not as pungent. a bit more peppery if anything. Much thicker fleshed as well and lots of juice. That alone scared me!
sliced of a chunk and chewed it up. I handled the Bhuts ok......... this will be ok as well........ right?
WRONG!
Hoooooooooly Sheep ****!
It took a good minuite to build. I got nothing at first.... for about 10 to 15 seconds and i thought, oh no, what have i done!
I drooled, and drooled, and drooled over the sink, non stop for about 5 minuites. I think the Bhut made me spit a few times.
I found myself shaking my legs around ,doing a bit of a pain dance. I withdrew into a better place and thought about a mouth full of icecream.
The heat seemed to soak into the flesh in my mouth and it just wouldnt let go. 10 minuites later i was red in the face, dripping sweat and kind of spaced out. I felt a bit woozy and happy if you know what i mean. and i was sober!
The most extreme chilli i have ever tried. And the scary looking ones are yet to ripen on another plant!
cheers
If you look close at this shot, you can see the thick layer of red chilli flesh and then the inner layer of yellow placental tissue. Its yellow because its full of the stuff them make capcicum spray from! Evil stuff!
