During the Eid celebration family and friends visit each other and enjoy the delicious meals prepared for this celebration, most meals consist of rice with meat AKA Qouzi, but this meal is not complete without the presence of MR Chili pepper, i found a cool link in wikkipedia.org about a scale to measure how hot is the pepper its called the Scoville scale this year the guys went a bit beyond human endurance and got some sort of nuclear bomb pepper.. i remember tasting it from the tip of my spoon…. thats all i could remember lol this table shows the scale to rate all sorts of pepper what i tasted i guess is on top of the food chain 😛
