In Search of the World’s Hottest Chilli: They say that only a masochist likes eating hot chillies. But if every masochist needs a sadist, then the chilli growers of north-eastern India must be some of the most sadistic people on earth. The Naga Jolokia, grown in Assam and Meghalaya, was rroclaimed by Indian scientists as “the world’s hottest chilli”. After some scientific dispute, their claims were recently confirmed. I  track down the Naga Jolokia in Tezpur, a name meaning “The City of Blood”. Can there be a connection between the blood and these fiery chillies?

But the foods of north-eastern India, from the exotic dishes of Sikkim (including yaks’ cheese and sautéed orchid buds) to the rare chital fish of Assam and the rich pork dishes of Meghalaya, are less well-known. A “food trail” through this region reveals some astonishing taste delights. See image preview: http://www.photographersdirect.com/simmons/search.asp?lb=5051
