I am a bit of a chilli wimp but since this international food achievement is so close to home, it was almost inevitable that I would post about it. Seasoned foodies may well be aware of this one, but the world's hottest chilli comes from Grantham in Lincolnshire UK. The 'Infinity' chilli is considerably hotter than other contenders for the fiery crown including the Bhut Jolokia and the Dorset Naga - the former is used in Indian military hand grenades. The title for World's Hottest Chilli, is a tightly fought contest and I'm sure it won't be long until an even hotter chilli is found - I certainly won't be in a hurry to sample one.
Updated: I stand corrected - an even hotter chilli has been found - the Naga Viper... from Cumbria, UK.
