today i had lunch in curry hill with cj; shopping for spices afterward we happened upon a pepper we couldn't resist.to put things in perspective, a habañero pepper has a rating of about 300,000 scoville units. according to one source, US grade pepper spray weighs in at 2 million scoville units. so the "ghost chile" is about three times as hot as a habañero, and half as hot as... pepper spray.
cj also talked me into buying something called s'chug. oh my, is it good. also spicy. but not bhut jolokia spicy.
(i'm a little scared, actually. but in a good way.)
