Just a slither of the tip of one fruit I harvested from my home. What a hit of fire! I can only imagine what a larger piece will be like...   
Not just fire, but sweet, fruity capsicum flavour too that is the first thing you taste. Then, the heat starts, and keeps growing, and doesn't let up...

Hey Alex, welcome to that select club of us that have been game to try one of the super hots raw
Not sure if we should be classed as Looney tuners or not though

Every time, its unbelievable. I have to separate my hot food enjoyment from chilli tasting as such though, if its a meal then I dont want it so hot I can't taste anything, but as a separate 'sport' of tasting thats a different matter! the head rush and adrenalin is unreal, sure it should be classed as a drug!

That would be the "Chilli High" that is often spoken of.
