Artwork from a Guinness Book World's Record holding Cheese Carver

April 16, 2013— While just about every cheese-lover recognizes there’s an art to making cheese, only one woman has set a Guinness World Record for making art out of cheese. That honor goes to cheese-carver Sarah Kaufmann, The Cheese Lady. 

The Bhut Jolokia Pepper aka Ghost Chili = The World's Hottest Chili

The Bhut Jolokia (also known as Naga Jolokia, Ghost Chili, Ghost Pepper, Naga Morich) is a chili pepper that grows in northeastern India (Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur), Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. In 2000, scientists at India's Defence Research Laboratory (DRL) reported a rating of 855,000 units on the Scoville scale, and in 2004 an Indian export company called Frontal Agritech obtained a rating of 1,041,427 units, which would mean it is almost twice as hot as the Red Savina pepper and roughly equal to the similar-looking Dorset Naga, which is derived from the Naga Jolokia. In 2006, it was confirmed by Guinness World Records to be the hottest chili in the world, displacing the Red Savina.
