Lesson 68: Scotchbonnets


While chomping on some amazing Indian food and being told to avoid a certain dish because the host knew that I couldn't handle it (I love it when people know me well), I learned that scotchbonnets are the hottest peppers on the planet.They have 100,000-350,000 Scoville rating while jalapenos have a Scoville rating of 2500-8000. Apparently, you have to wear gloves to handle them. I guess that means they're "too hot to handle." Ba-dum bum!
