7. Thanks Prof! I'd do all that in very small quantities, but I'm NOT a ghost pepper fan

To me it tastes musty, just not an enjoyable flavor in my book. Never had the Reapers.

The hottest stuff I really like (and will dollop on fairly generously) are the Green and Red Yucateca Habanero sauces. The Mango Habanero wings at Wingstop are right at my heat limit (for something that's like coating my meal), I can't do the VERY hottest one they have, one notch above it. Or one decent size birdseye chili in a single dish of Thai stir fry. Those buggers are HOT.
