The government of the Caribbean island country of Trinidad and Tobago is using the world’s hottest chile pepper – the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion – as part of a tourism event held the weekend of June 30th – July 1st! It’s very cool news for us chileheads to see something like this promoted, and for the island to embrace the fact that most of the super-hots of the capsicum chinese species – which include the Moruga Scorpion, the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, the 7 Pot and the Bhut Jolokia – probably originated in Trinidad and Tobago.
The button features the name of the official T&T tourism website, with one of Duffy’s photos of a ripe red Moruga Scorpion chile in the middle with the words “World’s Hottest Pepper”.
