Ok, for the last few years I've been trying to find food that was seriously spicy. Something so hot that it took some serious eating.

I've visited many curry restaurants, tried many kebabs with chilli sauce but I was always sadly dissapointed.

I explained to my local curry restaurant that I wanted the hottest thing they could make. It arrived, I tried it, it was a let down

So the search on the internet began.

I purchased a bottle of Da Bomb from a website following claims of it being 'the hottest sauce in the world' (wasn't that site I bought it from, I can't remember which I got it from, but I'll be using that site next).

Da Bomb was what I'd been looking for. It's ridiculously hot at 234,000 Scoville units. I use it very rarely and even then only in small quantities. A drunken friend the other night had a small amount on a crisp and was sick twice and his mouth was burning for hours.

So at this point I was thinking I had a winner and was satisfied that I'd tried the hottest thing on Earth. It appears I was wrong...

Looking at that site I've found sauces and aditives that go above 1,000,000 scovilles! It appears the experiment continues

So anyone else want to take part and keep me informed?

I'll be buying a couple more hot products this week.

One word of warning, wash your hands when handling this type of stuff. I rubbed my eye about an hour after cooking and could only compare the pain to something close to having CS spray in your eyes! Seriously, be careful
(remember this can cause breathing issues and should be kept away from kids etc. so always follow the warnings or instructions on the side of the bottles.)

It appears the official world's hottest product is on this page, however I don't really feel like spending the £299 it costs to get my hands on it

Tobasco is my limit. I used to eat Vindaloo, that gave me trots enough, so I won't be contesting your record. Good luck though on finding the pinnacle, oh by the way, isn't there a particular chilli that has some kind of world record for heat?

The sauce that I link to in my second post above officially has a world record, recognised by Guiness Book.

Too expensive for me, but I've found the next best thing and it's only £24

Here goes..................

Are you talking about Da Bomb, or have you found something else?

No, that's child's play compared to the second one. Look at the second post down. Click the page, look at the item at the top of the page called Blair's 16 Million Reserve. It's limited edition and £299 a bottle.

These are the hottest:
The merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango! Grown deep within the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum.

I tried the "pure cap" as listed on the site recently on a boys ski trip, I also tried a drip of it on a crisp, I was sick too

I like hot stuff but that was seriously evil

I've done that before. These sauces are actually a lot hotter than that!

I love spicy food. I get a kick as well as enjoying the meal.

The quest for the hottest is just having a laugh while satisfying my curiousity.

yeah, me too...to a certain extent. But feeling like your mouth is on fire is just bloody irritating each to their own I suppose.

Okay, so to understand the scovilles scale, I like to put some Tobasco drops (around 4) in my SpagBol, what is the scovilles thingy for Tobasco?
Quite fascinating stuff this!!

Is that the asylum where the guards have to wear full biological hazard suits just in case one of the inmates accidently comes into contact with them after handling said peppers?

My OH had a Habanaro chilli (not sure of the spelling ) when we was in the Caribbean and that was bloody hot for him and he has a mouth like aspstos. But not sure if that is one of the hotest one though?
