Happy Chili Day! Stepping around the Chili debate of meat or beans or both? I'm a fan of both, which I've been told is not Texas Chili ... ALL MEAT!! I've also been told to add HEAT!! I'm a wimp when it comes to HEAT. I prefer to enjoy my chili without sweating it out and making my mouth numb.
If you are on the other side of Chili eating ... BRING ON THE HEAT! Well, here's the Hottest Peppers of 2022 list for you. It's based on the Scoville Scale created by American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville in 1912. It's still used today.
Why anyone would want to eat something named the Reaper, Komodo Dragon, Scorpion or even a Viper is a mystery to me???
