The restaurant with an epic food challenge featuring the world's hottest pepper
A restaurant is challenging its customers to an epic food challenge featuring the world's hottest pepper. Piñatas Burrito Bar, on Wind Street in Swansea, has a special item on its menu - the reaper burrito. The burrito contains dried Carolina reapers, officially the world's hottest pepper. It has an average Scoville heat rating - a measurement of spiciness - of 1.5 million and a Guinness Book of Records peak of 2.2 million. The burrito also contains reaper hot sauce, chilli extract, spicy rice, bell peppers, pico de gallo, jalapenos, cheese, and Pinata's slow cooked Birria beef, served with nacho chips and reaper salsa. Those who take on the challenge have 30 minutes to complete it, and if they do, their meal is free and their photo can go on the wall. But there is a catch - it must be consumed in one sitting, without drinking water. For the latest restaurant news and reviews, sign up to our food and drink newsletter here. Owner of Piñatas Burrito Bar, Kieran Ivett, said: "We have a burrito challenge which is called the reaper burrito. Only five people have ever finished it, but it's got Carolina reapers in it. I was the first to try it - I thought I was being smug because I like spicy food, and I had to shout at my staff to stop filming me because I was embarrassing myself! It was far worse than I could ever have imagined. "We had one customer who ate it so quickly that he didn't give it a chance to burn. He literally demolished it, and probably afterwards he was crying. A lot of people bite and chew and in that process the heat will kick in. A lot of people will burst into sweats."
