I personally like to tone them down a bit to where I can taste some of the nuances in the peppers themselves. I don't think I could do like Neil at the Hippy Seed Company and just pop a whole fresh one in my mouth and go to town.
Last year my wife and her sisters got quite a laugh out of watching the sweat drip off me and tears run down my face while making a particularly hot batch of sauce for a friend who I firmly believe has killed his taste buds. I couldn't taste anything for at least a day and he said it had a really good flavor.
Here are a few more from this afternoon, the bhuts. I'd made the mistake of wiping sweat out of my eyes after touching some of the peppers, so I did not do quite as well setting them up and quit for the day after taking these.
