    TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO - Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago and one of the things I was most excited to try when I was there were the Trinidad scorpion chilies - lab tested at 1,463,700 Scoville heat units - making it one of the hottest chili peppers in the world! The scorpion peppers are indigenous in Trinidad and Tobago and today we’re going to try them out.
    Big thank you to #visitTrinidad for inviting me to Trinidad and Tobago and for making this trip happen! Guide to the things and food in this video: visittrinidad.tt/things-to-do...
    Friends in the video:
    Zaak (Foodie Tales with Zaak): / foodietaleswithzaak
    Tony Chow Lin On - Chinese LAUNDRY: / tonychowlinon
    Kerryann Sultan’s Pepper Farm in Cunupia - Our first stop on this ultra spicy food tour in Trinidad is Kerryann Sultan’s Pepper Farm, where they are responsible for growing some of the best scorpion peppers you’ll find. It was so cool to see the source and how they grow.
    Bertie's Pepper Sauce ( / bertiespeppersauce ) - Hot pepper sauce is one of the joys of eating food in Trinidad and Tobago and so it was amazing to see the process of one of the best hot pepper sauces in Trinidad.
    Quan Kep's Pork Shed (goo.gl/maps/6yNQMxoa1ziM8fwi8) - Next we’re heading over to Couva, Trinidad & Tobago, to Quan Kep's Pork Shed, know for their crispy fried pork and Trinidadian Chinese dishes. The food was amazing, the crispy pork and the hot peppers - and the fried pork with the Moruga scorpion chili. Chinese food is yet another cultural representation of Trinidadian food.
    Sylvie's Roti Shop (goo.gl/maps/usqv9U57bXy2Ea467) - San Juan, Trinidad & Tobago - Finally to complete this extra spicy food tour we went to one of Zaaks favorite roti shops for rice and dal and accompanying dishes. And this is where I tasted the true power of the Trinidad scorpion - absolutely fire!!

Diversity in it’s excellence☺️the best part though was the chilli farm and eating these super hot fruits, just amazing! As a long-time chilli grower (yes in Scotland!) I was totally enthralled as I’m currently growing same/similar superhots as well as mild/medium heat chillies right now…some I’ll freeze most I’ll dry and grind to powder….like Mark I love my heat!🥵

    After watching this video, I ordered a bottle of Berties pepper sauce. I have a fairly high tolerance for spice heat (not like Mark has though), I found it very flavorful with a bit of a vinegar taste, the heat was a lower medium for me. I tried to order the scorpion sauce, but they were out. It is also a bit on the expensive side at 12.99 for 300ml.

      they have a type of pepper from Jamaica , its small and round like a cranberry but its super spicy , its probably one of the hottest peppers , I tried it once and it was way too hot , I forgot what its called but its round and its red , looks like a berry
      I made a traditional Jamaican pepper sauce with it , it had some carrots and mangos and it blow my mind , it was good , I'm going to make another batch when I get time , I think organic apple cider vinegar is the best vinegar for hot sauce , gives it a nice kick
