World's hottest curry not for the faint hearted

Forget a spicy vindaloo - a curry house in Cannock has an even hotter offering.

Published

The Dilshad in Chadsmoor has started serving the world's hottest curry to its customers.

The Crocodile Inferno, made from crocodile meat and rated twice as hot as police pepper spray, is so spicy that chefs have to wear gas masks while they prepare it due to the overpowering chilli fumes.

Dilshad owner Tony Uddin said the curry was not one for the faint hearted.

"I believe this could be the hottest curry in the world," he said. "The crocodile will literally be biting back as you eat it. You will feel an intense burning - it will be a torrid experience and not for the faint hearted.

"There will be so much pain and toil and you will literally feel like you have wrestled a crocodile by the end of it.

"I am not sure anyone can finish it."

Customers will be asked to sign a special disclaimer form to try the Crocodile Inferno, which contains a blend of some of the world's hottest chillies including the ghost chilli pepper, the Trinidad scorpion Butch T chilli pepper and the notorious Carolina Reaper which is the world's hottest chilli.

Any curry lovers who manage to finish off a portion of Crocodile Inferno will win a special tee-shirt to mark the incredible feat.
