And if so what is the hottest you have ever dared and enjoyed ?

I received 5 packs of Dorset Naga chillis last Friday (923,000 Scoville units). I tried a tiny piece of one raw in the evening. It wasn't as savagely hot as I had hoped, but I had abdominal pain for a few hours afterwards. On Saturday I cooked a chicken vindaloo and added a whole chopped Naga, however was reluctant to eat any after the experience of Friday, didn't want 2 nights on the trot. A small sample teaspoonful promises a top-level experience and it's frozen down (which makes curry hotter)

In truth I am a bit scared to eat a whole portion. I am reading on the internet that half a Naga will make a curry too hot, and even that anybody eating a whole Naga would need hospital treatment. The last time I cooked a really really hot curry I woke during the night in such pain that I thought I was dying and had to go into the cool of the garden and gulp down a huge tumbler of bourbon to quell the panic of impending doom.

Here's a good article about the Dorset Naga and about Scoville units. This little beauty is 3 times hotter than the hottest Scotch Bonnet !

I reckon it will be alright myself. I have eaten 2-3 Scotch bonnets with no trouble and have some chilli sauces which are in the 2 million range.

I have eaten some "really" hot foot without serious effects in the past.

I eat Chicken tikka Phal
