**What peppers would you eat?** The [thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pepper-x-is-three-times-hotter-than-carolina-reaper-would-you-eat-one/991712) on the recent “hottest pepper in the world” candidate prompted this poll. I chose the peppers and their [Scoville](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale) score from the first result on a search on lists of hot peppers: [THE BIG LIST OF HOT PEPPERS | Cayenne Diane](https://www.cayennediane.com/big-list-of-hot-peppers/). I tried to pick recognizable peppers (the list is a lot longer) The number in parentheses in the poll is the approximate Scoville rating of the pepper. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/4042))_ ---
