Dry some for grinding. Make some ghost pepper jelly or honey. Add a little bit with some other peppers and vinegar and make some hot sauce.
I’m thinking about growing some Carolina Reapers next year but I’m finding I don’t handle incredibly hot stuff nearly as well as I used to. Currently I’m paying the cumulative price for deciding to eat molten chili chicken ramen yesterday and most of a small bag of pacqui haunted ghost pepper chips today. The chips were pretty damn spicy and the ramen was even hotter. They were labeled 5 out of 5 spicy but I didn’t believe mass market ramen would be that hot.
@djslack When I’m in the asian grocery in the ramen aisle and the word “molten” or pictures of lava and volcanos are prominent in the packaging, that’s pretty much my sign that it will be way too hot even for my spicy Cajun tastes.
I usually add only a small portion of the chili oil flavor packet and pitch the rest.
@djslack@mike808 My test for hot is my kid. If I buy something and she say, in exasperation, “Mom this isn’t every hot” I know it is still too hot for me. This kid drinks jalapeno pepper juice like it is water.
@Verkato oh I just ate those driving back to the office, no milk. I appreciated that they have flavor besides just heat. I don’t think I’m going to try their one chip challenge.
If you want to try something spicier check these out:
As said earlier, be careful!
I grew, dried and ground some and the vapors from crushing them burned my eyes! Do not use a grinder you want to ever use again. I used a glass jar and wood dowel as a mortar and pestle so nothing else would get contaminated.
The dried ghost is not as incapacitating as fresh or pickled. It’s pretty damn good.
Also, if you are slicing them to pickle them, 2 layers of latex gloves is not enough. That shit went through! Vinyl or nitrile gloves might be a better choice.
Make salsa and sell it. Or dry them out, grind them down and sell the ghost pepper powder.
@cinoclav yes, but PLEASE be careful. That stuff is dangerous hot!
Put the trick in Trick or Treat.
Make some lip balm with beeswax.

@mike808 oh I looked at the deep red oil, said “this looks hot” and put the whole thing in

@djslack That brand ghost pepper chips are one of the spiciest things I’ve ever eaten, not insurmountable if you have enough milk.

No MSG?
Hiyaah. No flavor. How you have flavor with no MSG?

Those Koreans know how to do spicy food.
Ugh. Everyone is missing the obvious. Bet your dumbest friend $5 to eat one.

@bluebeatpete Have you tried 3 layers of gloves? Or is 4 the right number to wear?
Dry them out, grind them, then snort a line of the powder.
Still better than COVID-19 testing.
