  • does it burn coming out #2... i mean i eat alot of hot foods and some come out bad and some come out like its never been in there?

  • @vangsengyee

    Haha, naaa, not as much as one would think. Or at least not for me. I've heard some people were on fire the next day after eating it.

  • Water makes it worse. Milk > Water when eating spicy foods

  • @Dividedbyzero2009

    In retrospect I should have gotten the Lassi, but I was on a bit of a budget with a year of travel ahead of me.

  • dude that thing looked fucking hot....you pushed through well

  • Haha, thanks, but I barely finished half of it.

    He told me to be careful.

    I only consumed like a 1/4 teaspoon of the sauce... it struck my mouth like a fucking grenade. Tears, sweat, pain. I felt grateful for the waiter, telling me in the first place it was too spicy. Naan, more naan, milk. Even after an hour when I arrived at my hotel room, my face was still sweating and tongue burning.

    Yesterday, I tried the phaal at the BLCH. It was barely as bad as the vindalho in India.

  • I was in India last year and I ordered a chicken phaal (fal), since it said it was very spicy. I had eaten vindalho many times before with no problem, so I thought I'd take it up a notch. The waiter said:

    "Don't take fal. Too spicy. Vindalho better. Fal too spicy, only for daredevils"

    I said "Allright then" and ordered a vindalho.

    When I ordered my check, he asked me if I wanted a free sample of fal. I said "yeah, why not" and he brings me this tiny little cup and some naan bread.

  • @vangsengyee spicey in,spicey out.

  • Respect, I looove Indian food and I couldn't handle a phaal and I'm British! Well done sir!

  • @Dividedbyzero2009 Yoghurt > Milk

  • Its not an achievement to eat a phall i wouldnt say !
