Garden habanero (not a grocery store habanero).

I have hot sauce in most of my meals and I consider my tolerance pretty high after years of capsaicin addiction, but that habanero kicked my ass. Popped it in, chewed it up, tasted great, hotter than I expected, but not unreasonably so. Swallowed, five minutes later I started shaking, sweat started pouring off me, then I shit my pants, threw up, and lay shivering on the bathroom floor for a while. Drank half a gallon of milk trying to calm my digestive system down. Burning hot coal in my center for a couple of days.

Grocery store peppers are selected for shelf life, not taste or hotness. Garden peppers are the way to go if you want to get fucked up or make sauce that'll fuck you up.
