THE Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia)

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

happyWOW! This is by far the hottest thing any of us have ever eaten! To be honest, there are no words for how intense this heat is. The heat sneaks up on you. After about a minute, you can begin to feel the ferociousness of this pepper. The pepper that I bought at Savory Spice Shop had a nice smoky flavor and aroma, but that is quickly overtaken by the heat. Hot Content: 74 out of 10. (AKA 1,000,000 scoville units).  I will post all three of our videos soon on youtube.com!

UPDATE!:  Here’s the videos on youtube.com:  JASON, MARK, ERIK–Coming soon.

Lays Kettle Cooked Jalapeno

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

hmmI looked forward to Lay’s interpretation of kettle cooked chips, however I was slightly disappointed. The chips have a slight jalapeño taste, but the main flavor I tasted was onion powder. The chips were crisp and not very greasy, however the onion flavor was a bit overwhelming. I would rate the spiciness as a disappointing 5, and the taste as a 5 as well. Overall, I would not purchase these chips again.
