Doh beat me to it.

Phal but it was to hot usally stick to Vindalo these days

Was just about to say that - scorching stuff

Another I like is Thai somtam puu (phed maak maak) ....if it doesn't bring a tear to the eye -it's not authentically spiced .A mainstay cheap dish in Thai cuisine.

i had a bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce.
too hot. much hotter than Tabasco.

Earlier in the thread there was a link to the Chilli Jam Man. Robinson's Butchers in Knaresborough make pork pies with a layer of their Three Peaks Jam in the middle, and sometimes the Bhut Jolokia Jam. The pies are delicious, in that you can still taste the pork filling as it's not mixed in with the jam, but the jam layer, which also flavours the jelly, is ferocious!

I also learned not to eat two of these in one day. Let's just say that what goes in comes out....

A chicken Phall tho I couldn't finish it. I stick with madras or vindaloos now!

Curry cooked using a Dorset Naga chilli. One mouthful and couldnt eat anymore. Felt ill for days.

Either Wedges from Tesco, or Chilli Dip at Pizza Hut, both made me feel asif my mouth was on fire lol.

Had a lamb phall once... sweet burning jesus of hell. Had about 4 mouthfuls. I wanted to cry LOL

I also grew scotch bonnet peppers one year and decided just to touch a TEENY WEENY bit of one on the tip of my tongue JUST to see if it was as hot as everyone was saying. REALLY not a wise thing to do. really not..

Naga chillies are the hottest chillies in the world. Would not even touch one.

I had something from an Indian once that was basically a sauce of minced red chilli. It was delicious.

Some mexican restaurant my American friends took me to. Wow The dish I had was super hot.

Recently I had Nandos and I didnt think much to the Extra Extra hot sauce... It was mild. But then I tried the chicken livers wow much hotter!

Doesn't look too intimidating with it's “cartoony” label, but this stuff is pretty extreme. I've had hotter stuff, but for a general, off the shelf sauce from the mainstream supermarkets, this has a respectable level of fire-power. Made with the naga (ghost) chilli, you won't be needing to apply this too liberally to your dishes to achieve that “punched in the face” level heat.

Dave's Ghost: Treat it with respect

The hottest straight curry I've had is this stuff though, the appropriately named “Satan's Ashes”. This stuff is pure evil in a packet. I've experienced the “chilli high” on countless occasions, being the spice junkie that I am, but this stuff gave me some considerably more noticeable physical effects. I had heart palpitations, blurred vision, and went light headed to the point of thinking I was going to faint. The only reason I pushed on and finished the dish was to be not out-done by a rival eater. I felt like I'd had my cinnamon chute violently fisted by Jean Claude Van Damme just before he goes into the final fight in Kickboxer 1, the next morning.

Ashes of the devil himself


Also, I tried out a new Thai restaurant in my home town just last week too, actually. Naturally, Billy Big Bollocks here ordered the hottest thing on the menu. I forget the exact Thai name of the “curry”, but the description in English called it “Jungle Curry”. It was more a soup than a curry though, but again, a respectable level of face meltage. I felt quite smug when my companions (who had ordered less spicy dishes) made their excuses of “I'm full up” or “the flavour isn't to my taste”, and gave up as I triumphantly stormed through to another spice challenge victory.

Jungle fury: Super heated Thai style curry



Sticking with the Thai theme, there's also a takeaway in my town, ran by a little Thai lady named Jum (who is apparently quite pally with the Hairy Bikers). She has her own turbo charged dish, simply named “Jum's curry”. When I went in and ordered some of that stuff to take out, the man at the counter gave me a couple of warnings and asked if I was sure before taking my money. He also made a point of shouting little Jum through to point out the idiot that had let himself in for a voluntary physical assault. She just looked me right in the eye and blurted out a really sinister laugh.

I didn't make it to work the next day. My colon felt like Chernobyl after that little concoction had finished vaporising my intestines.

Nice write up. You live near Barrow then? I've seen that Thai lady on a couple of tv shows. I think it's the same one.


Interestingly last time I had a jungle curry it was yellow and mid heat. Didn't look as drastic as your pic. That looks dangerous

Whole scotch bonnet and whole birdseye chili

God knows what some of those pure Capsaicin extracts and the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion are like.

But even they ain't shit compared to this

I have a very, very high spice threshold, but a Vegetable Phaal from a Manchester restaurant very nearly beat me. I couldn't taste anything after the first mouthful (but it was a fantastic meal- I genuinely enjoy searingly spicy dishes)

I never got the Scotch Bonnet- my brother-in-law grows them and I once ate one raw (albeit wrapped in cheese), and it wasn't the agony I was expecting.

Cheese would dull the pain for sure.

Do it again and proper crunch that shit up and work it around your mouth, and make sure it's a ripe one.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed reading. Yes, Barrow is my faithful old home town. Barrow Island to be specific, which is a very small Island on the outskirts of town, and adjacent to Walney Island.

I'd never tried Jungle curry before the time I mentioned in my previous post, and so had no idea of what to expect. All I knew was that it was the hottest dish described on the menu, and came with a little warning and advice to buy some plain rice to help equalise the heat.

Jum's takeaway is a humble little establishment, and a lot of people around here aren't even aware of its existence. It was a friend of mine that had told me of the seriousness of Jum's curry, so I just had to try it after that. Jum and her staff also run an occasional “Thai Buffet” night at one of the more upmarket pub / club places in town, and I've enjoyed the turbo hot offering a couple of times there too. Superb quality, as you'd probably imagine!


According to a friend of mine who's quite the connoisseur of super hot chillies, the naga has actually lost the title of world's hottest these days, to a little beast known as the Carolina reaper. A video of 3 men eating the reapers can be found here -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsm0nE0ROMA

Be warned though, the men have quite unattractive physical reactions to eating the peppers, which involves vomiting quite a bit.

I thought that the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion was the worlds hottest.

I'll have to check out the Reaper.

The highest rate of esophagus cancer is in country's that consume a lot of chili, so I don't eat it much.

Looks like the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is still the official record holder for the time being.

Yep.

That bloke on the left in Richies video link looked he was throwing up blood. lol

I thought the bloke on the right was going beat the other's until he started throwing up all that milk.

Middle man is beast. :O

me and some friends bought ghostchilli's off amazon and stuck them in a bottle of vodka for a few weeks... f'k me they were hot shots! was fun though as about 15 of us had one at the same time and everyone suffered for about 15mins after haha

Ah, fair enough. I'm no authority on the subject or anything. The reaper chillies were just something that a friend of mine had excitedly told me about, and billed them as the new world's hottest. I wouldn't mind trying one myself, just for the experience (cooked up into a meal though, rather than how those nut cases in the video ate them).

I'm currently attempting to grow a strain called the “white hot habanero”, but it is somewhat of a slow process with the hotter species.



Damn, is that right? I'm probably not long for this world then. I'd say I consume probably an average of 3 / 4 chillies (mostly bird eye and scotch bonnet, though I occasionally use more general types) per day. I was under the impression that they were actually beneficial to health. Ah well, as young as I still am, I'm already too old to change.

I think there's evidence that eating chilies can slow down the build up of plaque on artery walls, and they have other health benefits as well, but then they can also cause acid reflux which damages the lining of the esophagus.
