Naga chillis are used at some of the restaurants and take aways I go to - although you have to ask for the dishes, most do not have them on menu for fear of being sued.
Could only imagine that some of the chillis in the catalogue have no taste other than hot.
I think that some chillis have been grown for pepper spray/chemical deterants and that these chillis just don't have the taste you would expect of a cooking chilli. The Dorest Naga is likely to be the father of all chillis and some of those children chillies have been developed to be anything but an entertaining and novel curry ingredient.
