Trinadad scorp peppers.
 

I'm sort of an extermeist and would like to try and grow the hottest pepper on earth the trinadad scorpian pepper. I ordered some seeds from Bakers creek, 10 seeds for $3, we'll see how well they grow.

I was thinking of going to a local bar and having a pepper eating contest, i'd split half the cash with the bar and keep the other half. As at being over 1 thousand scottviles they are really hot. Much to hot IMO for kims idea of making Chili.

They are a great pepper and they are MUCH hotter than 1000 scoville units. They are not the hottest but you will no doubt enjoy them. I certainly enjoy mine.

jon:yes:;)

Great peppers! Not the hottest, but to most people, they will be the hottest pepper they ever imagined eating.

great, I'm hoping that i can get the ball rolling for the contest.

are you for real or just a troll? 1st the baker creek plug and now this. :shock:

who told you that trinidad scorpion is the hottest pepper? it is not.


what is a scottviles? oh yeah that's right it is [URL]https://twitter.com/SounDChimP[/URL]


and you think a TS is 1,000 SHU? :lol: you think eating these at a bar in a contest is a good idea? :lol: you have no concept how hot these peppers are. i eat hot peppers and i have eaten TS and many others in that SHU range and they are not toys to play with. you think they are much too hot for someone's chili but they are ok for a pepper eating contest? here's what i think, go do some reading and know what you are talking about before you hurt yourself. that's the best free advice you'll get today.

I completely agree. Scorpions are not to be played with. They are dangerous
and can take away your breath and mess with respiration. They are also in the
800000 scoville range. There also might be legal implications to providing these
as a fun contest. I repeat (they are not a toy and not for amusement)

I've heard about a local restaurant that offers extremely spicy dishes, like this

"DEVIL’S VEGETABLES
(Mixed vegetables in a VERY spicy ghost pepper sauce – MUST SIGN WAIVER). "

Only a few items on the menu are extra spicy and require a waiver.

Tom,

I don't know if you had read the link that [B]Heirloom gard[/B] had posted but he claimed to be autistic. Which could account for the less than precise knowledge of what he was trying to get information about.

thanks for the heads up. no i never saw that thread or i would have tempered what i said. i suppose i think we are all on the same level but clearly that is not so. sorry for being a dick.

to the op, trinidad scorpions are extremely hot peppers. please be very careful handling them, cutting them and especially eating them. wear gloves and eye protection, juices on your fingers will remain hot for days. soap and water does not wash off capsicum the chemical that contains the heat or in this case fire. eating a TS raw can cause respiratory problems (as another mentioned i forgot that when i posted) and even cooking them can do that as well. the ONLY thing that will mitigate the burning in your mouth is diary products like sour cream, yogurt, milk be sure to have something near by if you eat peppers that you are unfamiliar with! seriously peppers in the SHU range of TS and similar peppers are extremely hot and actually dangerous. unless you have experience eating hot peppers that are at least in the 100,000 to 500,000 SHU range i suggest you avoid peppers that are called super hots which is where the TS is.

I asked for a gas mask and long rubber gloves for Christmas to handle my hottest of hot peppers that I will grow this coming season! If I get them then I will grow for my husband :-) Even with a mask the habs burn my lungs! Good luck growing them! Keep us posted

"wear gloves and eye protection"

Yes, yes, yes, yes. A single mistake can cost you dearly.

be sure to use nitrile gloves rather than latex- latex doesn't work.

Some idea of what you might be dealing with.

okay will do, cant believe Kim wants to make chili with one!, yikes! Told her, yep i wont be eating it. I will proced with caution Maybe warn the people who partake in the contest- if it happens.

Here is one that will scorch the sinuses right out of your face. No laughing matter to eat it raw - in fact, it might hurt you. The Bombay Morich is a naga.

My wife found out the best way to use them in cooking soups and chilis is to cut up and put them in those cheese cloth string top (tied closured)pouches and dredge(infuse) for allotted times.Same manner for sprucing up jared pickles, salsas etc.Length of time is up to the individuals tastes and tolerances.Scott, is that naga(Bombay Morich) full ripe?Or does it turn fire engine red?

I will tell Kim no trinadad scorp peppers in chili i do not think she knows just how hot they are. ;)It might make a memory though.:lol:

As for the contest perhaps i should have a written warning of those who want to partake. if people don't want to do it or the bar leaders say no i'll just use them for decoration.

Sir, the idea of getting drunk people to eat these peppers is frightening. I would run away from that idea as fast as possible!

Now, you could flavor some vodka with the peppers, and add them to a spicy drink, but a single superhot per bottle of vodka would probably do it.

Maybe I'll let the bar tenders decide what to do with it. I myself cant drink as I take meds.

I would think the kind of bar where the bartender would let you do something like is also the kind of bar where a really big guy would "repay" you good if he lost money over a hot pepper.

I think a better bet would be to start a festival or something. Then sell t-shirts. :lol:

I grew some Trinidad Scorpions this last summer and although I didn't try any right off the plant, I did put a number of slits vertically down a single pepper and processed it within a jar of salsa. Although it gave the salsa a stronger taste, the pepper in the middle wasn't eye watering hot. Could the vinegar/lime juice have affected the heat or does the heat of individual peppers vary within the same plant?

Pondgardener, I have an Arabian dish that i make with [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Jalapeno pepper's that i add fresh lemon juice to. The lemon juice nutralizes the hot from the pepper's, so yes, most likely the vinegar/lime juice does have an affect on the peppers heat level.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]-Jonathan. [/FONT][/COLOR]

And the heat does vary, yes.

its probably just best to grow them as an orimental then i guess, i still haven't goten promission to have the contest yet. maybe i could give them to kc, my roommate he likes hot food. I do have a friend who has a friend that wants some really hot peppers.

Obviously you still don't get it.

I agree doing this to people is the same as putting LSD in their drink.

At work some of the guys had a habanero eating contest.:no:

What I did was get some vanilla ice cream and cut up a habanero really fine and put in the ice cream.

I told the people what it was they tried it and they liked it.

What can I say.
