willo, Vindaloo,then windaloo,followed by 'In the loo'. Joking aside, I am fortunate not to suffer any adverse affects and as my wife says "You have the constitution of an ox". I mentioned about my supply of hot sauces,recently I have purchased Encona 'Carolina Reaper' sauce which they describe as their "Hottest chilli sauce" "Try at your own risk".It is delightful. I am not looking for any medals for sampling such hot sauces and curries, just taking part in the discussion and letting one and all know my preferences.I'm certainly no hero for being able to consume such hot spicy food.

YT To be truthful I don't place myself on any pedestal for the fact that I consume hot curries. My dear wife sticks to far milder dishes, including Shashlik, and says that one can actually taste the flavours in the more milder curries.In actual fact when we first met in 1982, all I used to eat was Tandoori Chicken - one night when we were in an 'Indian' she said that I should really try alternatives instead of the same old dish and in my temulent state I ordered a 'Phall' much to her astonishment and she firmly advised me against it. Really enjoyed it and the rest as they say is history ! So I have been on the really hot dishes for nigh on 36 years ! Well in my club cricketing days, you would have been held in God-like reverence for your curry eating prowess. We had a rule where any player who scored a ‘ton’ or took 5 wickets or a hat-trick, was obliged to a) buy a jug of beer for the team; and b) eat a chicken phall at the traditional post-drinking curry house visit. Hardly anyone could ever make it to the end of the phall. One lad who did so demanded an urgent supply of cold water half-way through his sweat-ridden effort. The staff rushed in with a jug of the stuff and he proceeded to ‘down it in one’ to raucous cheers from all and sundry. Midst the mayhem, one reprobate asked the waiter how much water had been in the jug, and the reply (you have to imagine the Bangladeshi accent) was: “TREE AND A HALF PINT, SIR” I never ‘qualified’ to eat a phall, but when I tried just one forkful from a colleague’s plate, I went immediately into spasms of hiccups, it was so hot. Something akin to Mrs Willo’s fine-sounding shashlik is more my style!

In terms of "God like reverence", I really don't categorise myself as being on any pedestal, I just really have a penchant and the ability to eat very hot spicy food. Those, like my wife and yourself who prefer the more milder dishes are no lesser human beings and as my wife says,one can actually taste the flavours in such dishes whereas she opines that one just burns one's palate consuming phall and the like ! Many years ago, Clive James had a programme where he showed clips from around the world and he used to show a Japanese gameshow called 'Endurance'.On one, contestants had to consume ultra,ultra hot sauces and those who know me declared that I would win "Hands down" !!!! Looking forward to my takeaway tonight ! Edited by Willo (25 Aug 2018 8.20am)

You can taste the spices more if it isn’t hot. I have the taste now for some home made samosas. Would be alright if I lived in West Croydon. Well it wouldn’t, apart from that 15 minutes.

Family in Australia who are full aware of my ability to consume hot food informed me about the 'Flaming Ron' which is the world's hottest pie. Perhaps it could be on the menu at the catering outlets at Selhurst Park ! Edited by Willo (25 Aug 2018 9.59am)

Edited by Willo (25 Aug 2018 9.59am) may have mentioned this before, but morrissons do 'volcanic vindaloo' which although very hot is a good dish with plenty of flavour plus Asda do a Phall cooking sauce in a jar, although it depends on the store.

My word, never heard of them. My dear wife periodically frequently Morrisons but not Asda - will have to ask her nicely to visit both and purchase accordingly !

Had a Chinese yesterday. Tastes great but keeps me awake into the early hours even if I ate it at lunchtime. To be fair, I did have cake and ice cream for tea. So much MSG and salt in it that it makes you down a gallon of fluid as well, so you are bloated for two days.

Waitrose do a good kolhapuri and a good vindaloo although it’s not that hot. [Link] Sainsbury’s used to do vindaloo and phall but I think they discontinued them. Saw the phall in the reduced bay quite a lot.
