27 times hotter than a habanero?

I like spicy, but this is madness.

[Plasmodium]

That is blistering hot.  The color is unexpected.  I can't wait to get one.

[neutral]

I can't imagine enjoying that.  I like spicy food, however that is a weapon of taste bud destruction.

[Ban Basketball]

I only eat peppers that have actual flavor.  I do not get eating peppers just for the sake of the heat.  Why?

With that said,  habaneros are conflicting for me,  as they have among the best flavor, but I can't eat them because they're too hot for my palate.

[neutral]

Habaneros need to be muted and balanced with something else.  I like mango, and other fruits.  Once diluted, the flavor becomes tolerable.

[Wrestleknownothing]

I have gone to habanero hot sauce on my tacos. Very small amounts, though that has increased over time. I cannot eat American tacos any other way now. For Mexican tacos it is still their roja sauce, but I am not sure what pepper is in that.

Guess I'll be growing those next year.

My wife's aunt made habenero jelly and my wife loves it.   She made some herself and the house was hot!!   It was a bit hotter than her aunt's but was still decent.  

I like hot, but can barely handle a jalapeno raw.   I do #3 at the Thai restaurants and sometime #4.

That jelly sounds tasty.

My nephew has made habenero sandhill plum jelly.  Very good, I would not describe as hot but then I like hot.  

[mspart]

Well, my wife's Aunts jelly was not hot.   My wife overdid it with the habaneros, which you could smell through the house.   The house smelled dangerous, really.    I tried it and it was good, but I'm not much of a jelly guy.

How do you get peppers to breed?

They are pollinated by insects.  In theory, you could rub a stick or similarly shaped object to flower and deflower the plants.  Dealer's choice

Sounds hard:

Classical breeding relies largely on homologous recombination between chromosomes to generate genetic diversity. The classical plant breeder may also make use of a number of in vitro techniques such as protoplast fusion, embryo rescue or mutagenesis (see below) to generate diversity and produce hybrid plants that would not exist in nature.

This is a great series if you have not seen it.  Sean Evans has famous people on that eat 8 hot wings that keep increasing the heat on the scoville scale.  They presented the Guinness record on the show the other day and ate the pepper,  looks very painful.

I used to work for one of the prominent soybean breeders in the US. My roommate’s dad was a pretty well known wheat breeder. IP deal with Quaker.

The answer: you take a flower from one plant and mash it into the flower, still on the stem, of another plant. Then you out a tiny little bag around it and mark it with a label, indicating “AB * XY” cross. Seeds result. You plant them, grow them out and take a DNA sample to verify they’re what you wanted. Cross them with each other, multiple generations, and eventually you have enough seed to sell.

One of my best friends is a beer brewer for a decently sized craft operation in Ohio.

He had a habanero vanilla stout that sounded vile but was actually great. The pepper made the beer heat up your mouth and throat like whiskey does.

Cis Gender Is A Pronoun is correct on this one. 

My new favorite show.

Where can I get some?

[Ban Basketball]

It's a jalapeno ale, but this is derned tasty. Brewed in the Quad Cities.

I believe he was working at Jackie O’s in Athens at the time. Not sure if that was a seasonal thing or not.
