This is my 1/6/2012 photo. I got in a lil late so waited til 8am.
What you are looking at is a plate of 6 Hot Wings smothered in Ghost Pepper Sauce. Bhut Jolokia is its proper name. With a Scollville rating in between 800,000 and 1,000,000 this puts this pepper as the hottest pepper known to date. (Tabasco peppers are 2500)
Well a few friends tried this challenge with success, so I decided to take a stab at the plate. Lets just say this, I DO NOT recommend trying this. We had to sign waivers, wear gloves the whole 9 yards. I got the first bite down OK. It was the second bite that nearly killed me. The second bite grabbed ahold of my ability to think, speak, and hold back tears. Physically my body was looking for every avenue to escape. Mentally, I was breaking down. Needless to say I did not finish the challenge and stopped short of 2 wings. It was probably the worst experience I have endured to date!
Then again I can mark this on my things to do before I die list. Sad to say though this was an EPIC FAIL.
I like hot food but it sounds painful...LOL. The hottest at Bdubs isn't bad but I couldn't imagine how hot those things are.
