This beast from hell was a raging
inferno of a pepper, like none I had ever laid my eyes on. Its name was
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, and it scared me to death. It was the hottest pepper
in the world in 2011 according to Guinness World Records, just to give you an
idea of how hot this pepper was. The scoville scale is the scale used to
measure heat in a pepper, a jalapeno is 3,000-5,000 on the scale, and the
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T is 1.4 million! So knowing all of this I did what any
sane person would do, grew some Butch T plants.
The plant did not put out a land
slide of peppers like some of my other plants did. What it lacked in quantity
though, it made up for with scorching hot peppers. It had a rough texture with small pimples all
over it and was fire truck red. It was a little smaller than golf ball and
looked like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, almost like a space ship. The top
of the pepper was shaped almost like a brain, and the bottom end had a tail
that stuck out. A quick wash really made it shine a nice glossy red, it looked
so innocent.
As soon as I cut it in half each
half started to pool with capsaicin oil, which is what makes peppers hot. This
devils spawn of a pepper had so much capsaicin oil; it just oozed it from its
walls. The smell was very floral with a hint of citrus at first, with a slight
acidic after smell. It had a very surprisingly good taste, almost fruity at
first. This lasted all of three seconds, and like a train hitting a car on the
tracks, bam! The heat hit me hard and fast, it went from cool to lava hot in
those 3 seconds. No other pepper I have
ever tried has burnt me so fast; this thing was on warp speed. It kept climbing
in heat like a never ending ladder of pain. Each breath I took felt like I had
a blow torch coming out of my mouth.
Twenty minutes later most of the blaze had gone out in my mouth, only a
small brush fire here and there. What a
mind bending pepper, it was almost unearthly how hot it was. This pepper has
hot sauce written all over it, I can hardly wait to make it into a fiery hot
sauce.

Very nice job! I had a vivid picture of you eating the pepper, and how the pepper looked before I got to the picture. I also started to salavate at the thought of peppers, as I am addicted to jalapenos. I thought you put alot of detail into this assignment.
ReplyDeleteNice job! I like the description of the smell when you cut it open. I cant imagine getting that crap under your fingernails. That happened to me with habaneros and it burned 2 days later still. I thought I liked hot stuff. I cant imagine biting into this thing. Sounds like a good prank!
ReplyDeleteWow! You got my attention at the very first sentance. I could see you cutting the pepper and could almost sense the burn as you were eating. I didn't see any typo's. excellent descriptions.
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome job describing the pepper and the taste of it. I love spicy food myself and by reading your blog, my mouth is watery already. Anyways, aside from that I didn't find any too much of any typo so nice job.
ReplyDeleteFantastic description. Your passion for peppers really shows. You kept my attention.
ReplyDeleteThat pepper sounds scary, but I'm not a big spicy food person, I don't even like jalapenos. The thesis or topic was in the first sentence, so I did not have a problem picking that out. (The smell was very floral with a hint of citrus at first, with a slight acidic after smell.) I thought this was a very descriptive sentence! I did not see any spelling errors either. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your other posts that I came back to read this one. Since I like hot things so much I will be on the look-out for some Butch T peppers around town. Thank You
