a quest for a fiery nightmare.

For several months past, I've been trying to concoct a chili that will induce nightmares. When my girlfriend is away for work, I typically make food in bulk for nourishment during the week. One of my regular products is chili.

My ever first batch of chili was pretty plain. Ground beef, seasoned spicy tomato sauce, chili powder, tomatos, kidney beans, mushrooms. In the second batch, I extended that base chili by adding some black beans and using some taco sauce to give it kick. This resulted in a great tasting chili, but I was still comfortable and un-phased after consumption. Since then I've been searching for something to truly ruin me.

On with the peppers. I've tried numerous peppers from Sobey's and Dominion, but to no avail. They add a slight spiciness aftertaste, but nothing milk can't cut through. Tonight, I tried with the Dominion peppers once more. They are advertied as red and green, medium to hot chili peppers.. Knowing they aren't at all hot, I added a lot of them. Still nothing.

So this is a plea from me to you. Do you know of a pepper that can destroy Dominion brand chilipeppers? One's that can punch jalapeƱos right in their provitamin A's? Leave me a comment about where to find such a treasure.


Comments:
Those are pretty low on the hotness scale. You need to move up to cayennes or habaneros. Or to something really hot.
 
I agree with Earl. Also Thai Chilli's are good (can be red or green or both).

Also the smaller the hotter typically, but not as a rule.
 
Habanero chilis are some of the hottest chili peppers around. I once made spaghetti sauce with two peppers and subsequently had to dilute it 3 times. Even then Deb wouldn't eat it, saying it was too hot.

I fried them in the pan first, and almost choked on the fumes. :)
 
You might find something to suit your taste at The Spice Rack. I meant to check it out.
 
You could also grow your own peppers. Cayennes are particularly easy to grow. Although I dunno what your cats would think of it.
