Scotch bonnets, pah, childrens plaything.
I grow my own Bhut Jolokias/Ghost chillies and them's makes the difference twixt man and boy. I believe the Dorset Naga's have been superceeded by some chap in the midlands cross breeding some. The first year I grew my own, the first one to grow, I took from the plant and took a chunk out of, to see just how hot they were. I found out that they are kin hot, as in, lose the ability to speak for a short while.
My favourite chilli is either the F1 Banana hybrid (sweet chilli taste, with nice heat) or the chippotle, which adds an almost chocolately flavour to a chilli (good tip is to put a little chocolate in a chilli by the way, a nice plain chocolate).
Med curries often best flavoured with chilli oil (a good strong one) as they are not so highly spiced. I make my chilli oils with a small easy to grow chilli called a Prairie Fire; easy to grow outdoors (uncovered), cracking heat and good yield. I also make a chilli oil with the Bhut Jolokias, but them's manly oils.
I made a chilli with 2 Bhut Jolokias last bonfire night. T'was a night the pan was used often, and the head buzzed.

I've just made "Weeping Tiger" with Naga Jolokia chilli. I used one (wore gloves this time round because I burnt mybellendbunnet last time).
If you do forget to wash/glove up and accidentally touch the bunnet, I suggest immersing the affected apparatus in a pot of chilled yoghurt, a la Wilt (Tom Sharpe).
It does work but probably not a good idea to put the yoghurt back in the fridge and recounting the hilarity to your wife as she's just finished her yoghurt and muesli breakfast.

Anyone got a good recipe for a Mediterranean curry? Ideally with lots of dried herbs etc.

Too late. Curry is awesome but it does make your insides tingle. Sinuses are clearing nicely

Grab a spare carrier bag and put your hand inside it whilst chopping. Afterwards, grab the waste (seeds etc) through the bag and bin both together.

Wear disposable gloves. Or just do what I do - handle very carefully. I use one Scotch Bonnet if my kids will be eating the curry, otherwise two. Scotch Bonnets are good in that they add a very pleasant flavour as well as heat.
