WOW what a heated debate ( pun definitely intended ) on the hottest pepper. I can believe the article in many ways as I have had smoking hot Thai/Szechuan/Indian food in the past so I could see their claim being accurate. I guess in the past I can remember having hotter food from Asian areas than Mexican. I have a contact in India that I am trying to get ahold of to get seeds but again if anyone knows a source for these I would love to know. I figure that the seeds can't help but be available from a US seed supply store soon. The next quest for a dedicated chile-head :) Grant
