Curries

Posted by Harry on June 16, 2010, 4:23 pm

Reviewing a spicy dish on here the other day I started thinking about hot food and curry in particular. I was put in mind of a blistering curry experience I had several years ago (not as a comparison to the dish reviewed which was mild in comparison. It just jogged a memory). I was in Birmingham and a 'where do you find the most lethal curry?' conversation happened, as it sometimes can. I backed London and a Birmingham co-worker, oddly, backed Birmingham. Putting his money where his mouth was he took me to some backstreet Birmingham dive where they served what he described as a 'Tindaloo', suposedly hotter than a Phal. It was. It was the hottest thing I have ever experienced, like liquid fire, so hot that it brought sweat out on my neck, which has never happened before (or since). We were a little merry at the time and I can't remember where this place was. I am glad to say I have not encountered a tindaloo since. But do they really exist? Or was it a cunning scheme cooked up by my colleague and the restaurant to teach the upstart Londoner a lesson?
