Found on the discount rack at our local "import" store.  Half-price (from 105 pesos to 52.5p).  I like it a lot---DH says it's too hot.

The heat rating looks "blazing" but I'd try it from the discount rack. As a US resident I always find it amusing to see brands globally that for years before internet I thought were kind of local to the states.  So a chunky relish almost like a chunky salsa? Other ingredients?

There is a lot of sweet to it, which balanced the relish well.  Made cheeseburgers for lunch today---I normally top mine with grilled jalapeno slices, but used this today and was happy with it.

Interesting with cucumber at top of list. Makes sense in the relish world. Thanks!

The heat of ghost peppers is fine for me, I'd put it at the upper edge of what I consider pleasant to eat. Anything much hotter is out of my fun zone, I may eat it just to say I did but I wouldn't call it enjoyable. I do think habaneros have a better flavor than ghost peppers. The ghost peppers earn their name though. They haunt you. Long after the habanero heat has died off, the ghost pepper keeps lingering like a fart in a car*.


*Feel free to insert your own metaphor if that one offends. For better or worse, it's the first one that came to mind. :P

It's kinda like wrestling a gorilla... you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired.
