scotch bonnet
Fiery island chile
A scotch bonnet is a small, intensely hot chili pepper shaped like a tam-o'-shanter—the traditional Scottish bonnet that gives it its name.
Common in Caribbean cooking, it has a fruity, slightly sweet flavor beneath the heat: Jerk chicken gets its kick from scotch bonnet peppers.
The pepper rates among the hottest commonly available, comparable to habaneros.
