Paging Art Scott

World's hottest chilli grown in Grantham - Telegraph: "But now the market town of Grantham in Lincolnshire has produced an even fierier export after a local producer grew the world’s hottest chilli.

Measuring 1.17 million on the Scoville Scale - an official measure of spicy heat - the Infinity chilli is so hot that it carries a health warning."

I like my spicy peppers and have been known to eat whole Jalapenos will dining in the local restaurants. No one will eat my cooking anymore because I rarely fix anything without cayenne pepper or jalapenos.
But these seem even a bit much for me.

England would not have been the first place to pop into my head if asked where the hottest chili pepper is grown.

I just bought a bottle of Bhut Jolokia sauce, which recently ousted habaneros from the hottest chile category. I'm skeptical of claims of super-hot for a chile from England - England!! - not exactly a nation known for spicy cuisine.
