Hello fellow Chile-heads,

I have heard all of the hoopla about the HOTTEST pepper coming out of 
India and I just wondered if anyone has heard whether this pepper 
(besides being hot) has any taste and whether it is used in any of the 
really hot Indian curry dishes.  I do know that some Indian curry is 
definitely "painful" on the palette.  As a comment I noted in a previous 
post stated ... What good is a pepper which rates 855,000 scoville units 
if it tastes like crap.
