Carolina Reaper – The World’s Hottest Pepper
Official by Guinness World Records. The Carolina Reaper is THE World’s Hottest Pepper.

This “thing” called the Carolina Reaper (AKA HP22B) is better described as the demon pepper child that was invented by man. There is nothing normal about this pepper. It was bred for heat and that it is. Oddly enough this pepper has excellent flavor as well. Normally superhots have chemical undertones as if you can actually taste the capsaicin. The Carolina Reaper has a sweet and fruity flavor, that is right before the heat kicks in.

One unique feature shared by a few of the super hot peppers is the “scorpion’s tail” that is very well defined in this pepper. It gets its tail from being a cross between a Pakistani Naga and a Red Habanero. Click the add to cart button above to purchase 10+ seeds. If you don’t have a green thumb, you can always buy Carolina Reaper Powder and try this scorching pepper today!

Carolina Reaper Information
Seeds Per Pack 10+
Scientific Name Capsicum Chinense
Scoville Heat Units 2,200,000 SHU
Days to Fruit 90 Days

I think Canis Lupus was referring to the video being fake as opposed to the Pepper/Chilli in it.

What is it?

Inspired by the father of modern French cuisine, Reflections Fine Dining is warming up its stoves and ovens for a one-week Escoffier Menu. The culinary maestro, who established the kitchens of many of Europe’s grand hotels, is revered as the finest master chef of the 20th century. From 22nd to 28th June, diners at Reflections are invited to savour signature Escoffier creations such as Tournedos Rossini, Omelette Arnold Bennett and Cherries Jubilee from an a la carte menu as well as a four-course degustation menu, the latter priced at VND 1,588,000++


Tournedos Rossini is a French steak dish, perhaps created for the composer Gioachino Rossini by French master chefs Marie-Antoine Carême or Adolphe Dugléré, or by Savoy Hotel chef Auguste Escoffier.

Tournedos Rossini

Created by Georges Auguste Escoffier. Adapted from "Classic French Cooking" by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey, Foods of the World series, Time-Life Books, 1970


3/4 cup dry Madeira
2 Tbs truffle juice*
2 cups beef stock
1 Tbs arrowroot (cornstarch may be substituted) mixed with 1/4 cup water
6 Tbs butter
4 slices white bread, cut into rounds about 3 inches in diameter
4 six-ounce beef tenderloin steaks (tournedos), about 1 1/2 inches thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 round slices canned foie gras, about 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches in diameter
4 round slices of black truffle, about 1/8 inch thick and 1 inch in diameter
2 Tbs chilled butter, cut into pieces

* The liquid the truffles are packed in

Combine 1/2 cup of the Madeira, the beef stock, and the truffle juice in a small saucepan and boil over moderate heat until reduced by half. Stir in the arrowroot mixture and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Set aside.

Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy skillet over moderate heat and fry the bread rounds until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and place on a heated serving platter. In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoon butter, season the tournedos with salt and pepper, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until done to the degree you prefer. Place the tournedos on top of the toast rounds. Saute the foie gras for about 10 seconds on each side and place on top of the tournedos. Place the truffle slices on top of the foie gras. Add the remaining Madeira to the skillet and scrape the brown bits from the bottom and sides of the pan. Add the reserved sauce and cook until the sauce is heated through. Stir in the pieces of chilled butter and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the tournedos and serve immediately.

Yield: 4 Servings

But is this not the fantastic Oblomov's court? Where he deigns to explain to peasants what dining could be, where they able to afford it. Oh, free tuition in the culinary arts.

What a ****.

Oblomov

Glancing down the views and replies for the various threads, the figures have a huge variations. Some as low as 46 views per reply, others as high as 336... The Mods would be able to give better figures. Also, define the regulars and the passers bye, and the growth rate, was the figure lower for the initial replies and increased or visa versa...

But, with a ratio of 129 it seems to fit mid range. Then, the number of "Thanks" LOL No, I'm not going to count them. but, they are there.

LOL

Think of it as a mission, with the very recent World Health Organisation's warning against the food that carries a risk of Cancer, a subtle way of showing there are alternatives.

OK Not very subtle,
