The World's Hottest Chilli Gets The Rock & Roll Treatment in #SecretBatch134

Our very first Secret Batch (117) sold remarkably fast so we thought we'd do another one but with a twist....we got our hands on the hottest Chilli in the world......the Carolina Reaper! Yes Bongo's fans you should "fear the reaper" (Blue Oyster Cult and SNL reference obviously) at up to 2.2 - 2.4 million Scoville it deservedly earns it's Guinness World Record as the hottest chilli, which we found out when we tasted it!

We touched our tongues to the tiny pieces of skin you can see cut in the chilli above and, I'm not joking our mouths went numb for about 20mins! It's hot but man alive does it taste great - and with kilos of fresh Carolina Reaper in the batch we think it's going to be a  popular bad boy!

Now here at Bongo's our philosophy has always been to give great flavour to our products which we fully intend to do this time with this SUPER hot version of our Firework Jerk. So you will still get that wonderful taste you love but with.....a little more heat!

Not the most flattering pic but we were in pain!

So folks you can buy our #SecretBatch134 online or from us at our Artisan Markets and festivals...until it runs out of course! So get your orders in quickly as we already have jars on reserve for customers! #SecretBatch134 is only available directly from us and is not available in any of our retailers. 

This morning's Kitchen table!
