When at Uni in Birmingham many years ago, my mates and I went out for a meal along the Curry Strip. We dithered outside a few restaurants but kept moving on until we found one that intrigued us. The place in question had advisory notes next to all the hot curries on the menu in the window. Eg "Phal: Hot and sour", "Vindaloo: Very hot" etc.
Most intriguingly of all, one of them read "Tindaloo: Warning! Extremely hot. Not for the casual curry eater".
Naturally we ordered four of them. 
I suspect there was battery acid in it. None of us finished our meals. I seem to remember being left with the tab for dipping out first. It was worth losing the bet. Never again. 
Do not do it. (Get someone else to do it instead).

Many moons ago my local Indian had a phaal dish which wasn't on the menu but available for regulars in the know.
It was so hot it melted tooth fillings.

Here for rides.
'Tindaloo with extra chilly' at the opening night of a new South Indian Curry House in Newcastle Emlyn with Aberaeron Rugby Club in about 1988.
I am puckering at the memory.
Later I discovered Dosa there.

I had something like that in a Phall at my local. I was very glad it was local because it meant running home half the way to avoid soiling my kecks wasn't too much of an issue.

You do realise that the people who work in the places that serve these things must have more amusing stories than ANY of you lot put together!!

My first vindaloo when I was 14 years old. It was after a game of cricket and I was in urgent need of the toilet when the waiter took our order: I naively asked my mate to order something that 'I might' like. 
I had a few vindaloos in India this winter and was 'disappointed' to find they weren't as hot as my first one.
I might upgrade and have a phal next winter.

I was working in minehead on the skydomes in 1999.
we stopped in a B&B but drank in the hotel just off the main square.
one sunday when the hotel booted us out at 10.30 and with a desire for more beer we went to the indian restaurant .
I was talked into having a phall.
it was sent back as not hot enough. 4 times
when it came back the last time the spoon had a greenish tinge to it and i think it may have been fizzing in the bowl.
I can only describe the sensations during the eating as akin to what licking the Sun would be like .
i paid the consequences the next day .
working at height in the cold and wet means lots of layers and a harness. planning toilet visits was neccesary. I can only describe my rear as being like a blood orange in tatters .
it still didn't stop me having a shot of Andrew Cultures Naga vodka , and he did to be fair say try it a fingerful at a time. i assumed he meant a finger depth in a shot glass.

A long time ago I met my wife in the Welsh college of horticulture. On her course were 3 lads who were inseparable. One of them had a birthday, so the other two bought him a bottle of vodka. They decided to spice it up a little by adding a chilli to it. I'm not sure why but one of them decided to push the chilli into the bottle with the handle of his toothbrush. They then both retired for the evening, the spicy gift prepared.....

I did the wasabi thing too, I am not a very adventurous eater so when I arrived at a party and the food was sushi,which I hate, so I thought I would have the only green thing on offer - what could possibly go wrong

Yep. Been there. Know what you mean. Nobody warned me. I imagine it's a bit like solvent abuse. I've never known anything else to travel up my sinuses so fast, and it's definitely the only food that has ever hurt my eyeballs!I did the wasabi thing too, I am not a very adventurous eater so when I arrived at a party and the food was sushi,which I hate, so I thought I would have the only green thing on offer - what could possibly go wrong
No, that happens when one chops chillies, then chops onions and wipes the tears from ones eyes with ones chilli impregnated fingers. That REALLY does hurt ones eyeballs - 30 minutes eyes clamped shut under the duvet with the light out before the sensation of hot pokers being poked into each eyeball began to abate....
