<<The name Bhut Jolokia translates as ghost chile, Bosland said, were not
sure why they call it that, but I think its because the chile is so hot, you
give up the ghost when you eat it!>>
I think the name should be "BHOT Jalakia" not "BHUT Jalakia" as mentioned in
the article and everywhere else. As far as I know it is the "bhot" people who
used to bring it to the brahmaputra valley to sell in the market etc and that
is why it is "bhot jalakia", not "bhut, the ghost" as described by the
professor. Anyone knows about this?
