At 1.4m Scoville units, sounds like one for Madras Andy.

No such variety as a Komodo Dragon, they look like a strain of naga and just been renamed. Wont be 1.4m SHU either, maybe just under 1m.
Still will try and get some for a taster  ;)

This BBC news piece is about the grower, Salvatore Genovese. It's referred to as, "The Bedfordshire Super Naga, which has a reading of 1.12 million Scovilles"...
