What kind of pepper was it?

Question

Ok, in Myanmar, I saw on my plate these little green onion slices. Turns out they were not onions. They were peppers. Three of these tiny slices was enough to make my mouth hurt that I could eat no more, and even my ears were burning. My translator said it is an indian fruit, and even the indians (known for spicy food) think it's very hot. It was smoother, rounder, longer, skinnier, than a habanero... maybe it's habenero, but I'm pretty sure not. I think they show these fruits in the movie Vanity Fair with Reese Witherspoon, when she eats the spicy food. Any idea what pepper this was????? I'm very curious.

Answer 1

You had the hottest pepper in the world. Here is some information about it.
.........................................................................
The Naga Jolokia pepper is a chile pepper found naturally in the army garrison town of Tezpur, in the north-eastern state of Assam, India. More generally, it can be found in the whole of NE India: Assam, Nagaland, Manipur as well as the adjacent Bangladesh. It is a naturally occurring chili and is reputed to be the hottest in the world. It is sometimes incorrectly claimed to be a Capsicum frutescens since most experts agree that it is a Capsicum chinense.

Answer 2

Most likely the peppers were BIRDS-EYE peppers.
they are a small green pepper about the diameter of a green onion and about 2 inches long and hot as hell.
the name of the peppers come from the fact that they grow straight up, and are usually called ornametal peppers because they are too hot to eat, mostly use as decoration,

Answer 3

May have been "denkbeeldig" peppers, which are from Holland, & are the hottest peppers in the world!

Answer 4

thats sound like a jalapeño pepper, if so, you could never eat habanero cus is much more hotter than jalapeño

Answer 5
