The World’s Spiciest Foods
Posted on October 30th, 2009. Filed under: General.What is the most spicy food on the planet? That is a question that a lot of us ask. The Bhut Jolokia Chilli Pepper is the most famous ingredient to any ridiculously spicy dish and it is mainly found from Southern India. According the Guinness Book of World Records the Bhut Jolokia pepper or the “Naja Jolokia” as it is known in Southern India is officially the world’s most spicy ingredient.
However, India is not the only location to have some of the world’s spiciest food. Indian Restaurant from around the world varies in its ingredients and the amount of areas where you will find the spiciest ingredients are rare.
On the flip side, America does consist of its own varying spicy dishes that are world renowned. In Chicago, Illinois the “Hot Suicide Wings” require a disclaimer before even eating them! They are basically chicken wings made with a very very spicy ingredient called Red Savina Habanero which is found in Mexican deserts.
Second in line is the infamous “Devil Pork Curry” which is made in Malaysia. It is similar to the Vindaloo but is made primarily out of mustard, vinegar and chillies!
In mainland China we have the infamous "Hot Pot Sichuan Province" which is one of the most recent and most potent dishes. The lovely looking dish is extremely deceitful in its appearance as it truly is one of the most spicy dishes on earth! The most notable ingredient in this dish has to be the "Sichuan" flower which produces a very weird spicy, numbing sensation when you eat it.
In last place we have one the most spicy and recent dishes known to all master cooks out there. The South Korean stew is made up from several different ingredients but the most spicy one is the base of the Kimchi which is a spicy pickled garnish made from Cantonese Beaechu. Yet the real triumph of the dish is the sheer amount of chillies that they chuck into the mix for good measure. They are dried red chilli peppers which form a near lethal combination during pickling process with the piquant cabbage.
