“The name Bhut Jolokia translates as ‘ghost chile,’” Bosland said, “we’re not sure why they call it that, but I think it’s because the chile is so hot, you give up the ghost when you eat it!” I think the name should be BHOT Jalakia not BHUT Jalakia as mentioned in the article and

Also, accordng to the article, the bhot jalakia will be available for sell from the institute from Late April, 2007. Does that mean that it is patented here? Santonu Goswami [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:“The name Bhut Jolokia translates as ‘ghost chile,’” Bosland said, “we’re not sure why they

It depends on where you grow it. If it is in Guwahati, it is Bhot Jalakia. In Jorhat it would be Bhut Jalakia. The end result is the same, you burn at both ends. :-) Dilip Santonu Goswami [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: “The name Bhut Jolokia translates as ‘ghost chile,’” Bosland said, “we’re

'Bhot' would end up being pronounced as in 'hot'. Some of us have been using W for the w-kar, first proposed in assamnet by Rajen Barua, as in Bhwt Jolokiya. At 12:13 AM -0800 2/19/07, Santonu Goswami wrote: Content-Type: text/html X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by

Bhwt Jolokiya as some people call it, is called Bih jolkiya ( literally Poison Pepper) in many parts of Upper Assam, including my ancestral Namti area. I have grown it in my garden here in St. Louis, just for the heck of it. We never could eat a single one of them, because they are so

Whatever the pronounciation, I think congratulations are in order to the Bhut. It may look real small, but it is undoubtedly the king of jolukia land --Ram On 2/19/07, Chan Mahanta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bhwt Jolokiya as some people call it, is called Bih jolkiya ( literally Poison Pepper)

Thanks C'da I always thought it as small. I think I got it mixed up with the kon jolukia which are also hot. One of my friend's wife was kind enough to pack us a bottle of achar of the (bhot jolukia) fiery stuff. It is so hot, one can barely take 1/4th of a teaspoon. --Ram On 2/19/07,
