Some Like it HOT.

No, not the film.............

But the likes of The Bretheren and Piggers....................nicked this off Yahoo.

ITN - Thursday, July 10 04:09 pmA row has broken out between rival restaurateurs who claim to have created the world's hottest curry.

Chefs at London's Cinnamon Club created the Bollywood Burner - a dish so spicy diners are required to sign a disclaimer before eating it.

Made with lethal "Naga" chillies, the lamb-based burner has been submitted to the Guinness Book of Records in a bid to have it officially declared the world's hottest curry.

But Rukon Latif, owner of the Rupali Restaurant in Newcastle, has vowed to fight fire with fire by making his Curry Hell dish even stronger.

The blistering balti was created by his late father Abdul Latif Lord of Harpole, when he opened the Rupali in 1977.

Mr Latif would give Curry Hell free to anyone who could finish a plateful.

Diners who have dared the Curry Hell challenge have included Gazza and "Jackass" daredevil Steve-O.

"How dare they claim the Bollywood burner is hotter than Curry Hell?" said Rukon Latif, 24.

"Dad would be turning in his grave. We've been serving up Curry Hell for years now and it's one of our most popular dishes.

"But we've been thinking of ways to make it stronger - we are experimenting with using Mexican chillies rather than the crushed Indian bird's eye chillies we use traditionally.

"The heat does not come from the chillies alone. There's a secret ingredient too which gives it its kick."

The Rupali already holds a world record for the longest takeaway curry delivery - from Newcastle to Sydney, Australia.

So, guys and Galls.  Are we going to make a CA visit?

There used to be a place on Upper Brook Street in Manchester called the Plaza, they did a 'suicide curry' which was free if you ate it.  Students typically went there and, being skint, ordered that and then HAD to eat it.

Conveniently, Manchester Royal Infirmary was right across the road for the stomach-pumping work

I was told by my brother, there use to be a Curry house on Whiteladies Road, Bristol, that did the same thing. Their curry was called - nuclear holocaust.

Definetly something I will skip!!

I once made the mistake of ordering a Bangalore Phal after a stag night when (a) the wedding was the next day (b) the wedding was in Ilkley, a 50 mile drive and (c) I was the best man!
After finishing the steaming plate of, well, stuff I went to bed glorious in having tamed the curry beast. The next morning I was reminded of my stupidity when, upon swinging a leg out of the bed, the ring pain was so severe I had to sit in a bath of cold water and then investigate the medicinal properties of suppositories. (Aparrently you stick 'em up your bum - not chew them Doh!)

I do recall the waiters peering out of the kitchen doors and laughing and the maitre d offering me a life insurance policy.

Don't do it, it's just not worth it!

The Curry Capital, or the Rupali as it was called when it could still justify the tag 'restaurant', isn't anywhere I would eat in Toon.
Downhill for years, and there are so many quality places in the Toon (and environs)  that can serve up a hot curry if you want one.

Give it a miss....have a CA night in town and us locals will keep you right

I much prefer Fishermans Rest at Jesmond Dene or Fishermans Quay (us southerners know how to eat and spend the dosh).  But there is a 'balti' near Alnwick that I wouldn't mind visiting but not really sure where it is.

Leftie, permit me to don my pedants hat......Fisherman's 'Lodge' at Jesmond Dene.
A very nice establishment that relieves one of one's hard earned at a tremendous rate of knots.  

Can't help with Alnwick though!

Leftie, as I said, pedants hat on.
Can't fault your choice of location or eatery mind!
