The pickle I tried was nowhere near full strength, it was totally edible. Ate it as a dip with naan bread. Also contained garlic. Was VERY tasty. Didn't do much to the tongue, went straight for my brain. Felt like a massive rush. Kicked in 2 mins after I started eating it and lasted a good 10-15 mins. Did about a tablespoon of it in total over the course of an hour.
Next morning it sweated out during exercise and felt like tea tree oil, was really pleasant. Not too bad at the other end, much better than expected.
Not sure if there is much advantage to eating the stuff at full concentration.
Reckon this was probably around 250K scov, but that's just a guess. The bread helped a lot.
So for culinary uses I'd try mixing with olive oil, garlic and tomato puree, then cooking at a few mins, and aiming for 1/8th - 1/10th concentration. It was much tastier than habanero.
EDIT: would describe this stuff as legal drugs. I got it at The Light of Bengal. It's not listed on the menu, and only a couple of the waiters 'know' about it. Seems to be some sort of 'under the counter' type deal. They had 2 types and the second one was a bit stronger. The first time I went there they served it heated. The second time it was cold. Heated was much better, and the strong one was also more 'trippy'.
