Hi, I grew one, something Butch Reaper something once. I do like the hot stuff and got into it as a mid teen when there was herring tomato sauce thing with chilli. I thought "oh yes where did this come from?". Was about mid 70s.
Always loved it since then. But good grief! When I got the butch whatever Carolina reaper it was"what the!?" I grew them, we made a stew with slivers in it, we couldn't eat it and threw it all out. A mate who said "I can eat any Chilli!"
I said ok, 50 bucks if you can eat one of these.
He bit half, chewed, then.........he almost couldn't breath! About ten minutes later of him drinking and coughing and spluttering and gagging with tears in his eyes he said....##$$&: #$$&.....#$&)( these things! 🤣
But, another guy said "ill have a go" im ok 50 bucks. Yugo guy I knew called Yarra, he took the whole thing, chewed it, swallowed it like nothing.
Im "get outa here". He laughed then showed me the trick. Before he chewed it he sneakily put some, half teaspoon full of salt in his mouth. Then chewed.
I tried it. It neutralises the heat of the chilli. The tongue receptors for heat shut down from the salt.
