We have a jar of Dave's Insanity Sauce in our fridge, and though the label warns that one drop is usually enough, my heat-loving husband liberally shakes the jar over his pot of homemade salsa. He likes his chili so hot that often he has to spice his own bowl separately. As much as he loves spicy food, he's never come across a ghost chili, but according to this article, he may soon get his chance.

The ghost chili was recently named the hottest pepper on the planet, with more than 1,000,000 Scoville units. (As a comparison, the Habanero chili has 100,000-350,000.) Until recently, the ghost chili was enjoyed strictly by locals living in northeastern India, and outsiders were warned against trying the pepper for their own safety. But now exporters are gearing up to share the pepper with the rest of the world, in an effort to build up this troubled region of India.

Locals claim that the pepper is a great remedy for stomach ailments and oddly, keeping cool on a summer day. I have no doubt that if it shows up in our grocery store, my husband will want to try it. What about you -- do you think you'll try the ghost chili?
