planted seeds at the end of february and it is starting to pay off now. I picked the first two Bhut Jolokia (ghost chili) and here is one of them -

I took them into work tonight (I work at a restaurant) and we cut into one of them. I got everyone in the kitchen to try a sliver of the pepper including myself. That was great! Yes they are definitely hotter than any habanero. Now to find a good use for them! One of these could make a big pot of chili overkill. They pack a good punch.

Just bite into it like you would a pickle. No big deal.
(To me, at least. I ain't biting into it! $\:D$ )

In India they use a paste made from the pepper to paint on fences so kids don't climb on them.

That's a nice looking pepper. One pepper should go a long way.

Be careful touching it and then having nature call. That will be a spicy experience, spoken from a personal one.

I just checked the garden last night. the ghost chili plants are now 4 ft tall and loaded with green peppers! gonna be too many to handle! But I will dry some and make an extract with some.

I grew them two years ago...and still have seasoning I made (probably will have that seasoning for a lifetime). Every person I seen eat a whole one threw up after the fact...those are tough peppers man! Crazy thing is the deer still ate the leafs off the plants???
