I actually used to work for the chile pepper institute at New Mexico state university here in Las Cruces. We grew pretty much any pepper you can think of and sold seeds for some of the breeds the school developed. Since I left I haven’t actually grown anything myself but i’ve been thinking about getting back into it. I still use a lot of local sauces, I recommend the red jalapeno sauce by enchanted gourmet. You can actually see my old manager Dr. Bosland in this old viral video of a news reporter eating a chile and immediately regretting it. It happened right in front of the greenhouse I worked in.

Hot Ones is awesome. The interviews are great, and you also get a healthy dose of schadenfreude at the same time. For as long as I’ve been a chilehead, I have dreamt about organizing a 21+ hot pepper yo-yo contest where each competitor has to eat a super hot pepper before performing their freestyle. If they pull off an amazing freestyle, the crowd will be blown away. But if their freestyle is an absolute train wreck, the crowd will still be entertained watching them suffer through the burn. I think the idea has a lot of potential, personally. ---

If your friend couldn’t handle those, then he would have had an even rougher time with the peppers in the other bowls. Chinense varieties are so much hotter than annuums. ---
