GO! Try the Bollywood burner
July 17th, 2008 by JimPicture the scene, you’re hosting a UK chat show and you’re asked to taste one of the hottest curries in the world. This happened to Jonathan Ross recently who has to sign a legal disclaimer before he tasted the hottest curry in the world, the Bollywood burner, delivered from the Cinnamon club in London complete with a health warning:
Pepper heat is measured in Scovilles (SHU) with the Naga Jolokia weighing in at 855,000 SHU with the Dorset Naga, grown in England, UK has been clocked at 923,000 SHU and is believed to be the worlds hottest!
Spicy food anyone? Do tell and would you have tasted the Bollywood burner and smelt the garlic live on air?
Unfortunately, it says, “Video no longer available.”
I love spicy food. But, I don’t like spicy food for the sake of it just being spicy. It has to be spicy and flavorful. I like complex layering of seasonings, so my palate is a bit “snobbish.” But, I would never try anything new while on television. Also, I would have had a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream there anyway. Remember dairy products counter act the effects of the capsasian that make something hot. Hmmm…in this case, maybe I would just eat the ice cream.

good morning all
I like spicy food but it doesnt like me at all…..
There isnt a snowballs chance in Hattis that I would be able to even smell this one… even with the bucket of yoghurt as a side dish…
But do tell did he try it and what happened… heheheh
I saw this and it looked gross, Jonathan seemed to be in some pain - you can see where they edited it, where he obviously got into genuine difficulty!

Where is the pleasure in that?
I went for a curry last night actually, best Indian, no, best restaurant in Manchester Akbars.
Medium heat for me, chicken tikka & garlic balti, mmmmmmmm.
Mmmmmm…makes my mouth water. How yummy!!
I really like hot food so I would have a go at it but its a novelty curry. An ex of mine who was nigerian was brought up eating hot food and could polish off a phall without it affecting her.
Its a mans job to eat hot food. Any man NOT trying the hot curry is not a real man in my opinion. Or a christian. Or both.
Agreed, brilliant first date test.
Take him to a curry house, if he orders a korma, order a taxi.
my standard behaviour in the curry house is
turn up inebriated with woman on first date
order the hottest curry
eat it
have loads of cobra
ogle loads of women (birds love competition)
have an arm wrestle
win arm wrestle
have punch up
win punch up
jump taxi queue to the front
take bird back to hers
job done
send her to mine to pick up my work stuff to iron
get her to bring me brekkie in bed
go to work
never call her again
read in papers weeks later she’s hung herself over me
meet new girl
arrange first date
go back to top and repeat to fade
sounds like you went for an ‘english’, not an indian.
true it wasn’t a real indian experience
no caste system
no hysterical religion
no begging amputees
no families selling their kids
What is “phall?”
It wouldn’t play for me either so I googled “youtube bollywood burner” and it came up #1.
Boy, that must have been HOT!! There is no way you could enjoy a curry that hot. What’s the point if you’re in pain? glad it wasn’t me. Who here would be up for that anyway? I love a curries at the best of times but it doesn’t have to hurt! I would rather enjoy it.
it’s a bit like reading ‘Burmese Days’ - you feel hot just reading it. I can’t see the point myself (the curry and the book) - only a very few will be able to eat and enjoy it - the rest will probably be taunted into it by their mates (some friends eh?), - personally i need no such exhibitions to prove my man-ly-ness (or is that mandy-i-ness - she’s still away (quiet blub)) and from a scientific aspect, no household pan will cook it without burning through.
Our microwave (nuked food - so 80’s) is not the most modern of household appliances and re-heating this one would surely finish it off?
No - its steak and ale pie with mash for me or a nice chicken dish with a pint of real ale
if you know what i mean.

hey how did that smiley face get there? i typed a semi colon, a dash and a close bracket.
Wow web 3.0 is here already… they’ve landed! thank you for returning me to my home planet safely - i’ll always believe in you……… Hey what’s the big idea? i’ve got a house full of WW2 airman and a stack of rusty old planes on the front lawn - come back……..
Purple13s last blog post..Daytime TV - it doesn’t get any better than this…
LOL Purple -Web INFINITY and beyond!
Too hot for me! Would never be able to enjoy something this spicy….
Now if your talking about a Dragon’s Breath curry from Wales, that’s a different story!

Couldn’t get to watch it either. I do love spicy food but just as Cinically Clueless mentioned, I don’t eat spicy food without other flavouring.
But I would rather eat something hot and spicy instead of something blend. Even simple tuna sandwiches need some chilli suace or its a no no in my household.

I would definitely love to taste this curry atleast once.
I think Indians and that too particularly south indian people would not care how much hot stuff it is.
It is just a sweet for me in this case. Nothing can scorch our throats.
Try mine.
