No Jalapenos? Well try these peppers
Now that we're not supposed to eat Jalapenos, Rico Gagliano looks for the next best rush: Blair's 16 Million Reserve. Rico is the co-host of Dinner Party Download, KPCC's newest online show that tells you how to be the star of your weekend get-together.
A bottle of Blair's 16 Million Reserve, probably the hottest food on Earth. This isn't even a sauce: it's pure pepper extract in crystal form. Rated at 16 mil. Scoville Units (3,000 times hotter than a jalapeno), a single grain can reportedly superheat an entire pot of soup.
