• A couple are floating higher up…but yes, one may well be enough with some varieties – Dorset Naga is over 1 million on the scoville scale (of chilli heat) – supermarket chillis are 5-7000..!

  • I can feel my lips tingling already…

    Over a million… I recently watched people eating "the hottest chilli in the world" whole, just to prove they could. The person who ate the most was a very pleasant looking lady of apparently oriental extraction who was still smiling the same gentle smile that she started the competition with at the end.

  • The chili-eating woman probably practices some extreme form of eastern religion in which she completely denies the sensations of the flesh. "My mouth is not on fire with chili, my mouth is not on fire with chili…" she must repeat to herself.

  • Just used the last of my home-made chilli oil…how cruel of you to flaunt such a tasty looking specimen!

    Worse still the chilli plants in the greenhouse look pretty comprenehsively dead too….

    Tips please on over-wintering?

  • GC – scarily impressive…one of the chefs at RC didnt listen to my warnings and had the merest nibble…he spent the next hour in the company of ice cream, ice and yoghurt

    Chris – I have no thoer tips other than get them undercover, cut them down to 1-2cm above soil level and water once in a blue moon…
