Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Bhut' means ghost. Not just a super-spicy spice for punishment games, but a daily condiment for Northeast Indians. The surprisingly glamorous aroma behind the heat possesses addictiveness that makes regular chilies unsatisfying once experienced.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Drip just a few drops of an intense pickle (Achar) pickling raw Jolokia with only mustard oil and salt onto rice, eating like ascetic training while shedding sweat and tears!
