 Are you brave enough to accept the hot curry challenge?
A chef in
Newcastle, England, has rustled up a fiery dish called 'Curry Hell', and has
offered a deal to anyone brave enough to try it: Eat the full portion
for free; if not, pay the regular price of £6.95.
Abdul Latif, who
proclaims himself as the 'Bangladeshi Lord of the Manor', thought of
this idea when approached by an official involved in a tourism
promotion campaign in Northumbria in the 1980s. "I was quick to think
that I would introduce the world's hottest curry. It was then that I
created 'Curry Hell'. "I made a dish using just chilli powder, chilli
seeds and water with a meat or vegetable," he said.
Latif says several
people have managed to eat the full portion, while word of the curry
challenge spread far and wide. "It's become a test of endurance for
some people. They bring their friends and they have bets," he said.
People from all over Britain, he added, travel to his Rupali Restaurant
to have a go at the dish. Besides, he proudly said that adventure
eaters also came from as far as Australia, France, Norway and Germany.
His has now offered a 10 percent discount to readers of 'Eastern Eye',
a newspaper catering to the Asian diaspora.
