    How hot? I use Carolina Reapers for comparison.

    I might have to try it once.

    I'm a white guy. It makes me cough and occasionally shake.

    Haven't eaten a Carolina Reaper, but my digestive tract is on fire for a couple of days later, so I don't get Holy Cluck often. Go do it - get a plate of chicken 🙂

    I had the spicy dumplings from Eden Noodles Cafe before the Eden Park test and they had some kick.

    @nzzp @Bovidae

    My reaction to capsaicin is the hiccups. I have Carolina Reapers growing at home. I wouldn't expect Holy Cluck to be anywhere near that scale but I will probably start with Hot.

    @canefan your efforts are gratefully acknowledged 😉 I doubt I'd go the waffle route. In fact none of the classics appeal I'd goa Lil Dark I reckon.

    What time did you get there and how long was the wait?

    I prefer boneless chicken so that would limit my choice on the menu.

    the big white and lil white are breast meat with a wing attached.

    Otherwise, any of the burgers or biscuits or waffles have boneless thighs. Do it @Bovidae

    @nzzp Can it be a burger if it's made with a brioche bun? Or is it a modern affectation?

    Be careful I've been outed as a food snob already today 😉

    haha, absolutely. A bun is a bun is a bun.

    Burgers with Fried Chicken should concern you more... that's non-traditional

    Went at 12pm. Got a table for 1 straight away. It got pretty busy pretty soon after that. I got the waffle because it is one of their classics. Was pretty good, I'd recommend giving it a lash

    But a sweet bun?

    Hamburgers as we know them date from the early years of the 20th century. The first fried chicken sandwiches (which we call a chicken burger) in around 1940. McDonalds opened in 1937. I think the chicken burger has earned its bona fides

    The chicken and waffle chicken was boneless, as was the stuff in the burgers and biscuit of course

    Yeah, I was looking at those options. No idea when I'll have an opportunity to go there, yet.

    And in a slightly different direction…..

    Duck and Waffle (the dish) is pretty awesome. Their whole menu is quite good if you get the chance.

    So chilli geeks. I take it the different varieties are best used in different ways?

    So like what would you use reapers for? Scotch bonnets? Etc?

    I dare you to sample enough to pick up on flavour nuances to plan a recipe. They are hot, stupidly hot to use in quantities big enough for any flavour to come through.

    @Crucial I generally only get what I assume are jalapeno from the supermarket, I'm an idiot though and tend to often sample them in my eyes after chopping. Use them in sauces, casseroles, chilli, bread.

    Used to occasionally get scotch bonnets and use them in say a meatball sauce. But that's about the extent of it, so would be keen to learn more!
