Tried a Scotch Bonnet once (no it's not a euphemism), no idea what scale it's on but by George it was both tasty and mind blowing.
Some good vids on YT showing numpties trying to eat them raw. Even the wee bit I had I had to have milk on standby. |

"I tried a Phal (supermarket version) and found that too hot.
Im not sure what would reach on your scale, but it is probably 8.
I've been looking at the scoville heat scale  "
Any particular reason? |

I have to cut down on the spicy food, as I’m sure they’re giving me some stomach problems. However I’m easily up to 8 or even 9 (I’ve heard about those peppers or chillis that are a nightmare to eat) as the hotter the better for me |

I find one of the best ways to cook with the super high scovilles is to prick them with a cocktail stick repeatedly and then add the chilli intact during cooking. Then low, slow cook and mature. When eating the results, the heat builds over time correctly, instead of the 'melt your face with a blowtorch' approach. |

"I do like a bit of heat... about 7 !
It’s always useful to have something really sweet nearby as you can’t feel heat and sweet at the same time
Ahhh thats interesting "
Works much better than milk ?? |

I love scotch bonnets, but they're dangerous. They're like the hottest tomato on earth. If you score them and leave them in whole and them take them out at the end of cooking you can get the flavour with less of the heat.
But to answer the OP's question a 6 or a 7 at best. |

They are hot in terms of chilli used normally to cook but not in records for heat.
I use them regularly in Caribbean goat or mutton, 1-2 chillis per 2kg of meat is plenty hot enough and tasty, 11/10 up there like an Indian Phall.
I used Carolina Reaper the world record chilli in a dish once, but its pure heat no taste. |

Its just a training thing. The more you do the more you can.
I used to manage a 10, and had chilli sauce called satan's shit. Literally a tiny drip used to make most dishes inedible to most people. But I cant take anywhere near as much as I used to so I'd guess a 7 or 8.

Mango and honey lassi is the best way to kill the heat. Or just cold white rice |
