Answer 2

The Dorset Naga is the hottest in the world. A quote from my source

"We – Michael and Joy Michaud – grow chillies and sell them by mail order to customers throughout Great Britain. The business, called Peppers by Post, is located in Dorset on the southwest coast of England.

One of the items in our catalogue is Dorset Naga, an exceptionally hot variety that we developed from a Bangladeshi chilli known as Naga Morich. In 2005 we collected a sample of this chilli, and had it tested for heat by two laboratories in the USA. The result, measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), were astounding: taking an average of the two, Dorset Naga came in at 923,000 SHU.

To put this figure in context, the Guinness world record for the hottest chilli is currently held by Red Savina, which was once measured at 577,000 SHU (see: Guinness World Records).

This makes Dorset Naga more than 50% hotter than Red Savina, and clearly a contender for the title ‘’hottest chilli in the world’."

The hottest chili's are the habinero or scotch bonnet peppers. I've tried the habineros once and only once. They were so hot that they burned my throat and I felt like I couldn't breath, not to mention my mouth was ablaze with fire. Never again my friend, never again.
