Yep, I thought this thread was still active to discuss spicy foods.
I clicked into this thread looking for discussion of McDonald's new Spicy Nugs. Imagine my disappointment.

Yea, you folks are outta my league by at least 50K SHU. Some of those peppers are well over 100K SHU beyond my palate/GI comfort/survival threshold. However, I'm proud () to remind y'all that I survived a 2 ounce sample of an imperial stout (IIRC) from Bond Brothers Beer Company that was brewed with C*rolina Reapers a couple years ago.

Flatiron Pepper, to borrow a phrase from rj199, is legit.
Tried the Sweet Heat, Four Pepper, and Hatch Green on pizza.
Hatch Green good flavour, mild heat.
Sweet Heat was ok- tasted less hot than the Hatch.
Four Pepper is a good combination of flavour and heat.
Gives me pause on ordering the 350k-750k pepper blends.
Just cracked a bag of Bakke Brothers Ghost Pepper Beef Jerky. Really tasty but so hot. So hot.
Apparently they also make a Carolina Reaper version. I can't imagine what that must be like and yet am a little tempted...
Roasting some carrots, habaneros, garlic and onions right now for a homemade habanero garlic hot sauce...which is going to be mixed with some butter for a habanero garlic wing sauce.
BTW, Tabasco's Scorpion sauce is very good. Fairly hot, but a little sweet, too. Not sure what I will use it on, yet, but I will find something.
Here's the base habanero garlic hot sauce. Flecks of black are from the pre-roast. Turned out pretty good. I'm forever tinkering with the vinegar types and ratios when I make these. This one was apple cider so in addition to being spicy it has a little bit of fruity tang. Put 8 cloves of garlic in it but wasn't enough for me. It's never enough garlic though. It's pretty much the one cooking rule I always abide by: if a recipe calls for garlic, double (or triple) it.
Half is going into a pot w/ butter and a few other things shortly, rest will be in the fridge at call.
