david_carnell Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 What is it with you boys and your chilli?Tom Parker Bowles once wrote a very funny article in the Mail on Sunday (my parents copy before I'm lynched) about trying a chilli sauce of the end of the scoville scale.I like spice and heat...but in tea?!

SeanMacGabhann Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I've got TPB's book and it included that chapter DCMaybe we should descent on SMB and sample one bottle of each of their "I can't believe it's not a bowling ball!!!" sauces - they have quite the rangeThen again I don't think we are in it just for the heat - we like hot but not the scoville-addicts hot Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3389-the-hot-room-all-things-chilli/#findComment-105836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockney piers Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 depends on the mood, the occasion, the food etc.For the most part I'm chipotle, which is usually jalape?o. I'm partial to a dash of habanero to spice things up, or birds eye for eastern dishes.Love scotch bonnet sauce with a fry up though.And when stomach is feeling robust, a bit of dragon's blood, and now have some dried naga bin jolokia from CPP!!

Brendan Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I have for a long time now added a dash of cayenne pepper to my rooibos tea. As far as I know I?m the only person who does this. I came up with the idea one day when I had a cold and couldn?t taste anything. I thought it might help clear the pipes and since then I?ve been hooked. Much to the bemusement of my family. As for chillis, if only the fucking sun would come out I may just get a crop this year.

missd Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I was very pleased to read in the Metro this morning that the padron (Russian roulette chilli) has just become available on the high street in the UK. It's a Spanish pepper, of which a random one in ten is hot, while the others are nice and sweet. Really good. Brindisa does a tapas dish with them, jsut pan fried with salt -beautiful and kind of dangerous as you don't know which one will be firey. yum Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3389-the-hot-room-all-things-chilli/#findComment-105967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Mmmmmmmm one of my favourites.They must have been available here for a while as it's one of my brother's signature dishes. I'm often greeted with a plateful, exactly as described above, when we pop over to his.I shall enquire as to his source, it cooould be Borough Market, not sure.*edited as unsure why I deified my brother with capitalisation* Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3389-the-hot-room-all-things-chilli/#findComment-105973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
missd Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 yeah i thought so too, as have had them here before, but maybe now more readily available?? i think someone from tesco was quoted this morningi have looked for them before but couldn't find them, which meant i was always going to brindisa to eat them (which is no bad thing!)would be interested to know where your bro has been getting them from before this though, especially if its somewhere closer to home Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3389-the-hot-room-all-things-chilli/#findComment-105975 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamberwellOz Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 The hottest thing I have ever tasted was a mouse shit chilli (named that because of what it looks like)in Thailand. The lady used half... and I was scared to lick my lips for about an hour. How hot is hot? The Scoville test has become the industry standard for determining just how hot, hot really is when talkin? chilli. The index goes like this:0-5,000 Mild 5,000-20,000 Medium 20,000-70,000 Hot 70,000-300,000 Extreme A Mexican jalapeno comes in at 3,500-4,500 units. Thailand?s long, slim phrik chii faa (sky pointing chilli) scores 35,000-45 000 units, rising to 60,000-80,000 for its scorching phrik khii nuu (mouse shit chilli). India?s bird?s eye chilli blasts further up the scale to 100,000-125,000, but is no match for Mexico?s Yucatan Peninsula, or scotch bonnet at a blistering 300,000 units. The heavyweight title for the hottest chilli on earth however, goes to the Red Savina Habanero with a volcanic 570,000 Scoville Heat Units.

david_carnell Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 No longer I'm afraid. The naga bin jolokia comes in at a whopping 1,041,427 SHU!I do believe Mr Mockney even has some sauce containing this bad boy - rather him than me.

mockney piers Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Someone's created a 'sauce' which is basically pure capsicum, or 16,000,000 scoville units.Apparently it's not fit for human consumption which rather begs Why?.Yed D_C, the Dorset Naga, a strain accidentally created from some indian nagas on our own fair isle.
