You may recall that, back in December, Joef finally got his hands on some Naga Jolokia pepper, the hottest pepper in the world - only to have it trumped three days later by the Naga Viper pepper. Thus began a new obsession - finding this Naga Viper. We were largely unsuccessful, until following the trail of a YouTube video sent to us by my dad of a fellow pepper enthusiast eating the Naga Viper and promptly vomiting everywhere. The video led us to the originator of the Naga Viper, and then - to a hot sauce made with a combination of Naga Jolokia and Naga Viper.This sauce arrived today, and - as you can see - the customer is very satisfied. Those who attended our Super Bowl party yesterday should count themselves lucky that the Naga Viper Limited Edition sauce didn't get here any early, or the wings we made (next post! three kinds!) would have been even hotter.
I tried a tiny drop of it on my tongue, and yeah, it's hot. Tastebud-searing hot. I think I've had my fill, and I'm sure it will be playing a prominent role in Joef's meals for the next few months. Hooray for the Naga Viper!
Have been reminiscing about the Naga Viper and how few have been talking about it since it lost its title over at Guinness World Records. It is a shame really because there is much more to the various super hots than just the heat.
