Someone sent me an almost untouched block (they ate a slice or two it looks like) of smoked Ghost Pepper cheese.

I've eaten Ghost Pepper ice cream at Lumpy's in Wake Forest (best ice cream ever by the way) and that was potent. This was like a shot of delicious cheesy napalm, not intolerable, but right at the limit.

Bloody good stuff! Serious snacking.
 
It may be the one that I bought and passed on to someone.
 
I've had some habanero cheese before that pushed me to my limit after a few slices. I can't imagine ghost pepper cheese.

Could be. I plan to finish this block here, a slice or two at a time.
 
And.... you can keep that all to yourself! My Mancard doesn't have a high enough credit limit on it for all that! That makes Siracha look like Kool Aid.

Want me to save you some? I don't think it will ever go off, I swear I saw some germs try and land on it while I was exclaiming it's significance and the little buggers caught fire before they landed.

Dang that sounds delicious! Who makes it?

Not sure, the label "smoked ghost pepper cheese" is a Dymo label. The guy who got it said it was from a farmers market. I have the call out for more info so others might burn their arses off like me.

I appreciate the offer, but I think I'll keep what bit of my stomach lining I have left :)
 
Ok, the cheese was acquired from a shop at the farmer's market off Sandy Ridge Road in Greensboro. It was the open air part from a vendor with an unmarked table. He is there every day apparently.

The vendor had a lot of different things but his claim to fame was a significant quantity of ghost pepper in the cheese. As you can see there's a lot of something in it.



The guy who gave it to me is finding the name of the shop for me, but until then good hunting fellow scorch-heads!

I have had some, bought it at one of those roadside mom-and-pop Amish stores out in the sticks. It was tasty, but I sweated so much it looked like I had just climbed out of a pool.

I grew up on vindaloo and such. Peppers are definitely more potent to my palate, but I do love some good hot stuff.

The guy I got it from couldn't believe I was not only eating it, but enjoying it enough for a second slab.

My son can eat very hot food. Not me. I had a few chunks of the cheese and had to beg off.

Ghost Pepper SHUs 1,041,427

Jalepeno SHUs 4000

Carolina Reaper SHUs 1,569,300

These take seasoning to a whole new level.

If I was a rich man, I'd buy a truckload of this stuff and have a tasting party.

Hi-larious.

Of course if I sold beers for concert prices, I would probably end up a rich man.......
 
I bought mine at the store across the street from the cheese factory in W Jefferson.
 
If that had been around in my younger days I doubt I'd even have a butt hole at all now, not even the one that won't let me enjoy Texas Pete anymore.

Be careful wit the hot stuff guys you will pay for it some day.

IMO all this yummy hot stuff ensures I'll never have colon cancer. No Hing could live in there!

My first throne visit wasn't bad at all. All the heat stayed in the belly pretty much.
 
Now that looks like some pretty hot cheese. I would be interested in purchasing some of that cheesy hot goodness.
 
Sounds yummy. I just made a batch of deer jerky with several ghost peppers ground up whole (and ~2oz fresh ground peppercorns) & cooked down in the marinade. It won't take yer face off, but will temporarily paralyze parts of it.

Love all the super hot peppers. Such an endorphin rush & a sublime, slow, intense burn. Have a bite or 2, have a beer & a smoke till the feeling in yer face returns & repeat.

Pretty sure seed content is the determining factor in the "afterburn".
