Scottish butcher claims his 'Devil's Sausage' is world's hottest

A Scottish butcher has claimed that his "Devil's Sausage" is the world's hottest.

The "Devil's Sausage" is so hot, its creators at Rendalls Quality Butchers in Raploch, Stirling, wear gloves and goggles to make them.

The delicacy contains pork, sweet chili, jalapenos and the so-called "ghost pepper" Bhut Jolokia, one of the hottest peppers in the world.

Butcher brothers Jason and Garry Rendall, whose previous creations include a Buckfast pie, said they have sold hundreds.

Jason, 28, said locals were competing to see who could manage a whole one.

"The look on people's faces is priceless. Big tough guys say 'I'll have one, no problem, I love hot food', but after biting into their roll and sausage their expression soon changes and they're reaching for a drink. They can't handle it. "Word has spread so fast we're struggling to keep up," the Scotsman quoted Jason as saying.

"Obviously I've tried them but even I wouldn't eat a full three sausage roll. I'm racing to the sink for water after a single bite.

"We warn people 'eat the devil's sausage at your own risk'," Jason added.

Guinness World Records said it is 401.5 times hotter than Tabasco sauce.
