Seems to be popular people trying this stuff, I’ll stick to my Korma, but apparently they got pepper x Korma too🤔🥵🤯
Pepper X is a crossbreed of a Carolina Reaper and a pepper sent to Ed Currie to be cultivated (Pucker butt Pepper Company). The curves and ridges of a Pepper X chili create more surface area for its placenta, the tissue that contains capsaicin to grow.
The cultivator Ed Currie said that, when he ate a Pepper X chili, he was feeling the heat for three and a half hours and then experienced cramps that had him laid out flat on a marble wall for approximately an hour in the rain, groaning in pain! However, whilst it is said to be the worlds hottest pepper at 2.69 million Scoville Heat Units, alot of Controversy surrounds it, as there has been no independent third-party testing by chili growers, universities, or professionals in the spice industry or has never been publicly available as seeds, unlke all previous record holders!
Three samples of Pepper X were officially tested by Winthrop University in South Carolina. Only one recorded 2.69 million SHUs, the other two were found below 2.2 SHUs, which is no hotter than the latest Carolina Reaper’s 2.2 Million SHU! There are alot of hot peepers out there, like the Death Pepper, but they don’t have consistant heat, so make of this what you will 🙂
As for me, the Ghost Pepper (2007 hottest at 200 times hotter min) is my comfort limit to still get some enjoyment out of a curry and then have to be in the mood. Ive tried the next hottest Naga Viper, (215 time hotter than a Japeno min), whils’t eating out, but only as it waa UK record holder, but certainly pushes the bounderies of what I class as enjoyable, though like any pepper it depends how much pepper or seeds are actually in a meal
For context the the Carolina Reaper pepper is 362 and upto 800 x hotter than a Jalapeno
After watching some of these vids kezo, no wonder it’s rated over adult over 18, no doubt younger people will try it for prank, looks lethal to me..😆
The couple that run the corner shop often bring curries or snacks into the shop and will allow to try them. They once told me, we aren’t bult for hot peppers like they were brought up on and that their school age kids eat what they do and is often hotter than we would eat, I can believe that. The other thing there food is tasty as will as hot, not like western adapted curries. I once tried a cheese cube on a coctail stick, whils’t it was very nice initially, it son got v hot.
Seen them in Ice land this morning. It took 00.1 to say not for me and walk away.

Some tells me they are hot, but not to the level the pepper is ranked. I don’t have an Iceland or Food Warehouse in the directions I normally travel, but when I pass one I will call in and get a curry. In the mean time, I beg you to try even the pizza slice and (1) be my guinea pig (2) warn me not to waste my money, if there no good and (3) yes I’m being serious 😂
