Great Flavour! Not quite as as hot as expected.
Not quite as spicy as i expected, but the flavour greatly enhanced my chicken fajita wraps (recipe below for you to gauge heat against with my opinion). Had a nice warmth and a lovely flavour but I think ill try 3/4 of a pod next time as i felt it needed more spice.Im used to cooking with Fresh Komodo Dragon Chilli and these dried naga have a nicer heat effect (although lesser per pod) and better flavour. I also use Habaneros in cooking, hot sauces and flavoured vodka, i prefer the flavour of these Naga.Cooking recipe: I used half an average sized pod (including seeds, very finely chopped) in with my chicken fajita dish (2 small onions, 2 small-medium chicken breasts, 1/3 red pepper and 1/3 a pack of fajita flavour mix. Cooked everything together and put half in a while wrap with half an avocado, rocket and a small amount of cheddar and cream cheese.

Perfect...
I bought these for the purpose of fun rather than cooking, and they worked perfectly. The heat is incredibly intense, even a tiny bit on your tongue is enough to have your mouth burn. These have been put to good use slipping them into friends foods for a laugh and the result is beyond perfect! I have had them screaming and jumping, spraying milk like a fountain and virtually crying with the heat!Sliced up the side of leftover pizza, diced the Ghost Chilli very finely and inserted them into the pizza. No one suspects a thing! They take a huge greedy bite and before you know it they are screaming and running round the room looking for ways to cool their mouth down.-NOTE: It makes your mouth and tongue feel as if you are being stabbed with hundreds of burning needles, can burn all the way down your throat and into your chest. It is hell in your mouth! Be very careful as after handling these it will remain on your hands, I accidently rubbed my eye and it ended up very painful and swelling. I recommend washing your hands a good 3-4 times after just to make sure.None the less, these work perfect for pranking friends.

Great peppers, but not the best bang for your buck.
Good quality peppers, that are extremely fiery. Taste great, but they're very hot, so use sparingly when cooking with them. Not the best value for money, however.

Toilet paper in the fridge!
Delighted with the chillies. Arrived promptly in the post, all the way up to 66North. On opening the resealable packaging, a beautiful chthonic and fruity aroma of warmth emanated from the chillies. A harbinger of what was to follow...Tried them out on a curry aficionada friend. A glutton for punishment. He tried to assume an air of practiced nonchalance after consuming a tiny piece of dried Naga, claiming that he ate Phals for breakfast etc. About 30 secs later small beads of perspiration started to trickle down his forehead. The chewing stopped. Tears welled up in his eyes. Conversation stopped. He disappeared into his kitchen to find multifarious dairy products, including Icelandic Skyr to cool his scorched mouth. Good entertainment value from a tiny piece of Naga.Some days later, having plucked up the courage, I decided to rehydrate a WHOLE chilli in water for 20 mins (as recommended on the packet) and to use it in a cheeky wee chicken Jalfrezi. As soon as the Naga chilli came into contact with my erstwhile Henry Watson's suffolk terracota casserole dish, the earthenware started to dissolve smokily. Rapidly changing over to a cast iron Le Creuset dish prevented a core meltdown through the Greenlandic grey granite work surfaces in the kitchen.The taste is fabulous, if you don't mind losing feeling in your mouth for a good half hour or so. Johnny Cash, a.k.a. the Man In Black had clearly consumed a Naga chilli the night before when he sang "The Ring of Fire" ...

It's extremely hot, you have been warned.
Well, i bought these ages ago. They have since gone, but for the weight there were a fair few chilli's in.The Bhut Jolokia (better know as the Ghost Chilli) is one of the hottest chilli peppers in the word, recording at over 1 million heat units on the Scoville Scale. When i tried one, it was the Hottest Pepper in the World. That honour goes to the Carolina Reaper now, so this pepper is the 3rd hottest in the world.First thing you will notice when opening the packet is the smell. It smells evil, and by that i mean you can smell the heat. It has a delayed reaction, i managed to chew and swallow the chilli before the heat hit. Started in the back of the throat and moved it's way up to my mouth. You want an example of how hot this is without eating one, put your hand over a fire and imagine that head in your throat and mouth.You will sweat, you will go red. The only way to relieve the heat. Yoghurt and Milk, as they catch the heat and relieve the heat. Not straight away, but it will work.Not more i can say, except if you eat one you have been warned.

Pain, Fun, and Tears
I took a few of these to my pipe band's curry night. Some lads disappeared for at least 10 minutes with a jug of water in the futile attempt to get rid of the pain before returning sucking in the air like a dodgy hoover.My younger brother brought them into school, one boy swallowed a really bad one and ended up rolling on the floor in tears before throwing up a bit into a bin. He then went home.You can lick these things your tongue can sting a few minutes. HOT! like....really damn hot.One word of warning, do not rub YOUR eyes after touching these. By all means let others rub their own as it's hilarious. These things are the embodiment of satan's faeces, they have worked their way through the fiery depths of hell and reached the tongues of humans. Only time will tell who will survive.

Funny story
arrived on time and in good condition. Word of warning do not put in the microwave or this will give off a gas that has similar effects as CS Gas...
