My Naga has just turned...mean

[imaguitargod]

Well, for a while there my nagas were just wrinkly, now they have taken a turn...for the mean! Two weeks ago they started to beef up nice and big, and now they are finishing off their growth and two of them are starting to turn orange. And ALL of them are now wrinkled, bumpy, spikey, and just plane mean looking. I have a roommate that's got a degree in hordiculture and he took one look at that and said "That's one mean looking pepper!"

Take a gander...but only if your not easly scared...

Layman's terms...It is so ugly that it must be friggin' HOT! One bite into this pepper will blow off the top of yer skull and yer brains will spew all over the yard!! The next morning your sphincter will be speaking in tongues begging the pepper god for mercy!!! :mouthonfire:

[Sickmont]

That looks like something that could mess up a crowd of people big time!

Wow, I guess that would be the laymen's term. Nicely done. ;)


I can't wait! I am guessing it will be about another week and a half until the one that's turning will be ready...and then I take my video camera and film me eating it...

[imaguitargod]

I forget, do Nagas mature to red or orange?

[naganero]

from what i've seen most red but they are edible or so to speak at semi-orange to green.

I'm going to wait to the absolute maturiest before I eat it.

[tinner666]

It'll be on VHS. I'll ty to get a pic or two.

[naganero]

Hey Jon I just talked to tony he also goes by nagaseeds and has been growing for awhile he is my supplier. He says that the Morich matures to orange not red. He says also that the morich he feels has more heat than a dorset. Use Caution :) yeah right go for it

[imaguitargod]

Use Caution :) yeah right go for it

:lol: , looking like it'll be the end of the week for the pod!

Ya, thanks again Mark. They are all turning nice and blue now....j/k, their turning orange.

[Blundaar]

Can't wait to take a crack at them next spring. Over the next several months, I'll immerse myself in Ravi Shankar music. That, and figure out what to do will all the peppers I am currently harvesting.

[imaguitargod]

Shankar's awsome, and his daughter ain't half bad either.

DEFINITELY!!! Especially Nora(she's hot!)

[imaguitargod]

Ya, Nora's much hotter than Anoushka.

[imaguitargod]

So the one that was the most orange got a crack in it and molded. So I took it off the plant and slicked a 1/4 inch square off of the part that wasn't nasty rotten. I touched it to my tounge a few times...man taht's some heat. So then I bit off a VERY small sliver :mouthonfire: :onfire: :fireball:

Ok, now I know how far I'm going to get into the Naga when I finally have a fully ripened one to eat on camera......one bite. I'm actually getting nervous about this (no second thoughts tho. I'm definitly going to go through with this).

Look forward to that!!:mouthonfire: :mouthonfire:

I told you the Naga rumours were true and they were mind boggingly hot (looking smug:lol: )

Maybe I should have a Naga growing challenge to replace the Whippets tail challenge next year?

i have a question about this. i love hot things, but i certainly have my limits. i have just recently started messing with habaneros, and i ate one of the seeds to see if it was hot, (haha) and my whole face was on fire.

i cant imagine this thing, which is supposed to be x times hotter than habaneros.

my question is, why do you want to eat something that is a million scoville units? isnt there just a point where its all heat and you cant even taste anything else?

i hear that daves insanity is 50,000 (i dont know how, its hotter than the habanero i grew..) and something that is 20x what daves is would be insane. at least, to me. :mouthonfire:

Well, first off, it's going to be an amazing endorphin rush. Second, I'm a guy, guys do dumb things. Third, I want to have the accomplishment of eating/attempting to eat a Naga under my belt. Seventeenth, the endorphin rush really is going to be amazing for this. Fifth, I'm dead inside and peppers are all I have (no, that's not actually true). Never underestimate the stupidity of a chili-head that drinks. ;)

20x what daves is would be insane
That would be me http://bestsmileys.com/silly/18.gif

ross you may have yer limits now, however if you experiment with peppers and hot sauce long enough, you will find that your limits will turn into goals!!! Man I beg for the HEAT, but I must say that reaching those goals can be painful!!:twisted: Ahhh! :mouthonfire:

[imaguitargod]

Ya, over a while your tollerance gets built up. What most chili-heads call hot only gives my tounge a "tingle".

hm. i didnt know there was a tolerance to peppers. i have noticed that the jalepeno stuff is no longer even remotely close to what i consider hot..

[ross]

ps: are you really a guitar god?

[Tony]

The most I've eaten is one ripe pod in a meal for two.
It had me in tears, literally. Red face, runny nose,
the works. It had to be done but I'm not sure I'd do it again.
My spouse had similar trouble eating the chicken, garlic,
ginger and Naga treat which meant I had the second portion
for lunch at work the next day. I had to leave some of it as my
taste buds were still in deep shock from the previous evening.
Now I just use about 1/2 a pod, it's got the right balance of
flavor and heat.
It's getting easier, at first 3/4 of a pod was more
than enough. I like hot food, a large Chocolate Hab I can take,
a large sized Naga Morich is still a challenge!

Good luck!

[imaguitargod]

Yep, the more you eat cap the more you can tolerate it.

ps: are you really a guitar god?
Technically, no. One will never reach "god" status becuase when you think you have mastered and instument there will always be someone that will come along and smack you down the god ladder by showing you something outside your box of thinking. The "imaguitargod" handle was (and still is) my aol sn so I just ended up using that for all my internet handles.

Isn't that odd? Dave's is supposed to be 50,000 and the weakest hab is supposed to be 100,000. Does anyone know what Dave's real rating is?

id like to know this myself :)

i ate 2 sauces tonight: fatalii fire and cape fear red savina, and they both TASTED better than daves, but they werent as hot, i think. my god that red savina one was hot though. and the fatalii one had me in tears. i love it :onfire:

daves to me is just too hot. i put 1 drop in a whole bowl of chili. haha, but theres not much flavor, just heat. with those sauces i could taste other things, and it was awesome!

[chuk hell]

Just had some Fatali Fire myself..lights me up pretty good but man, what a great flavor. I'll review it soon.

And I think the lack of flavor makes it seem hotter.

Guitar God:

Re: God status. I'd say there are a couple who made it to the very very top: Frank Zappa*, Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai couldn't really be taught much else.

Notice how I didn't include Satriani or Malmsteen in that. Controversial.


*Not just because he's dead. I mean, like, when he was alive.

You know, we do have a Guitar thread... :rolleyes:

Gods: Clapton, Eric Johnson, Randy Rhodes, Nuno Bettencourt, Kirk Hammet is good, but not quite god...I can come up with a few others too but have to head to work...

Did you know that Joe Satriani taught Kirk Hammett and Steve Vai how to play?

Yes, yes I did. :cool:

Hey, don't blame me, I didn't start the alt.guitar discussion here.

Wow.... Nuno BadmintonCourt. I saw Extreme in about 1991... wonder what they're up to now? Still got my bandana somewhere *rummage, rummage*
