Naga Viper Challenge

Well here we are, back from Edinburgh after a great weekend with Barry Murphy and Mark Golder from Team Extreme for the Naga Viper Challenge. As some of you will know this is all in the name of the Brittle Bones Society (Barry’s daughter is sadly affected by Brittle Bones disease) as we thought it would be a good idea to sacrifice our tastebuds, oesophagus, stomachs and overall wellbeing for a good cause!

We hope to put The Devil's Garden edit of the video up within the next 24 hours so watch this space. The Chilli Pepper Company’s Naga Viper being a natural hot sauce (although as most of you are aware, the naga viper chilli has recently won the title of hottest chilli in the world so not your average jalapeno) the contestants handled things pretty well considering, although hours later stomachs still hadn’t really settled.

Hiccups were of course in order for the boss of the Devil’s Garden but at least he didn’t look like a stroke victim which is what happened when he tried another sauce from the Chilli Pepper Company i.e 10 Minute Burn! Another particular contestant ended up with some residue of the sauce in her eyes when she rubbed them without thinking which prompted much laughter and some pretty good swearing so overall, a good night for chilli madness!

The naga viper is definitely a chilli that anybody should try, even if just smeared on a toothpick as the flavour is really incredible although hard to describe unless you try it so make sure to get your hands on some of the Chilli Pepper Company Hot Sauce before limited stock runs out!

It’s also never too late to donate for the Brittle Bones Society and anything you can spare would be much appreciated: http://www.justgiving.com/nagaviperchallenge

We would like to thank Team Extreme again for their great hospitality and invitation to take part in what hopefully is the start of many more charity chilli challenges!

Upcoming Weekend - Naga Viper Challenge

As announced in one of our previous blogs, the time has come for the Naga Viper Challenge to take place this weekend!

Mark Golder and Barry Murphy from Team Extreme invited The Devil’s Garden team along, not only to watch this “collective of nutcases” (as they call themselves) gulp down a whole shot glass of the Chilli Pepper Company’s Naga Viper Hot Sauce but also to participate in the challenge! After all it’s all for charity…

Barry’s daughter is sadly affected by Brittle Bones Disease so Team Extreme decided to set up the challenge in order to raise as much money as possible for the Brittle Bones Society.

The last time Team Extreme tried a whole shot glass of hot sauce it took them a couple of hours to recover so trying the same thing but with Naga Viper Hot Sauce which is probably the hottest natural hot sauce currently on the market should be interesting to say the least!

We know that the boss is eager to die trying it out himself and we cannot wait to see the result! Last year at the West Dean Chilli Fiesta, the boss in question tried The Chilli Pepper Company’s notorious 10 minute burn and people around him were quick to mention how much he looked like he had just had a stroke…

It is not too late to donate anything you can spare so please help Team Extreme by following this link: http://www.justgiving.com/nagaviperchallenge

A Little Help for Something Extreme

Official Team Extreme started posting their videos on YouTube in February last year and soon gained popularity by trying some of the hottest sauces currently on the market.

They describe themselves as “a collective of nutcases” which is easy to see when watching a video of Mark Golder drinking a whole shot glass of Dave’s Ghost Pepper sauce or the team sampling some goodies sent to them from us at The Devil’s Garden such as The Chilli Pepper Company’s 15 Minute Burn “Pocket Rocket”, Blair’s Ultra Death Hot Sauce and Chilli Pepper Pete’s Dragon’s Blood Batch 13.

Mark Golder contacted us this week to see if we would be willing to help raise awareness for their new challenge which is to collect £2,000 or more which will go to the Brittle Bone Society as his compadre, Barry Murphy, has got a daughter who is sadly affected by Brittle Bone Disease also known as Osteogenesis imperfecta and Lobstein Syndrome.

In exchange for your generous donations, the team will do their worst/best video yet i.e drinking a whole shot of The Chilli Pepper Company’s Naga Viper which is probably the hottest natural sauce on the market at the moment. The trailer for the challenge can be seen here!

So if you want your day brightened by watching absolute nutters regret the very day they were born then follow this link, make a donation and make this happen! http://www.justgiving.com/nagaviperchallenge

The Chilli Pepper Company at the Holker Winter Market

At the Devil’s Garden, we are always keen to show our support to our various suppliers and thought it would be nice to say hello to Gerald, the man behind the Chilli Pepper Company, at the Holker Winter Market last weekend.

The weather was absolutely fantastic albeit a bit cold but it meant a lot of people went indoors, where Gerald’s stand was, in order to warm up. It was a rather compact winter market but full of Christmas anticipation and spirit. Gerald had set up shop in a prominent position and a lot of people were interested in what he had to sell.

He asked us to try some of his infamous Naga Viper, currently the hottest chilli in the world. We’re not going to pretend we ate a whole chilli pod, especially on a near empty stomach, and thought we would give you a more accurate description if we weren’t writhing on the floor calling for our mummy to come and make it all better.

Ged gave us a 5mm piece to try and we were bowled over by the flavour right away. It is definitely more Trinidad Scorpion in taste than Naga but the pungency is definitely coming from the latter! We weren’t keeling over but definitely realised why it had won its title!

Other goodies included a delicious dark chilli chocolate, some ginger & chilli fudge and of course his notorious Flaming Fireballs! As for the sauces and preserves, well most of them sold out, especially after all the chilli festivals this summer but fret not as Ged promised he would cook us more of everything, including his famous 10 minute burn hot sauce and the new Naga Viper hot sauce as soon as possible!
