Chilli King of the East Dulwich Forum

[Michael Palaeologus]

There has been much macho posturing about chilli consumption in the past "I can handle a strong one", "Give a me a powerful shiny red one every time" and so on.

However, these reported feats of chili-consumption have never been observed; until now.

Last night at the Curry Club meeting in Jaflong, Mr Floating Onion publically scoffed his way through a dish of the very spicy Chicken Naga and then through the raw naga chilli that garnished the dish.

He did go a rather strange colour and spontainously lose 5 pints of perspiration, nontheless the deed was done with 7 witnesses.

Hail to the Chief!

..... and the Chef, the food was very good.

Is a Naga hotter than a Vindaloo?

[SeanMacGabhann]

The Naga dish wasn't anywhere near as hot as a vindaloo - it was enough to cause a pleasant humm of hotness and no worse for that

But the Naga chili itself - in it's raw form which sat (I believe as a garnish) atop the dish is one of the hottests chillis around. Frankly if we here from Onion this morning I will be amazed as his system will have some "sorting out" to do - but as Michael says, he did it and he did it in style. All hail..

Its Allycat I feel sorry for ...

and the Goldfish.

[Floating Onion]

AllyCat & the goldfish survived. It's my coworkers that I now pity.

The dish wasn't too spicy, but I certainly wouldn't recommend the garnish! Next time somebody needs to bring a camera.

I would love to join the curry club but alas I am not sure my waist line would be able to bear it plus unlike the antics of the chillis above I am more of a korma/butter chicken (without the chicken) kind of a girl..

Does sound like fun though!

[Floating Onion]

The curry club isn't about the hottest chillis. It's all about good food & good company. There only a couple of us who are idiots. I blame Mr. P for encouraging me.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I was disturbed by the fact that, for the second day running, I entered an establishment at random and was given free champagne. What credit crunch?

[jumpinjackflash]

sounds good - when is the next one? My limit is a Madras although might raise the bar and go for the next hottest dish whatever that may be.

[Strawbs]

Before I get any more excited about potentially joining the curry club - is it always on a monday?

I will go and read the curry club thread and see if I can answer any more questions I have..

[Michael Palaeologus]

Its kind of once a month - no specific day, usually down to haggling.
