At a restaurant in England, diners brave enough to order one of the world’s hottest curries are asked to sign a legal waiver before taking their first bite.
Made with some of the hottest chillies on Earth, the dish is so fiery that chefs prepare it while wearing protective masks. Customers have been known to cry, sweat uncontrollably and even abandon the meal after just a few mouthfuls.
Despite the pain, thrill-seekers continue to line up for the challenge, hoping to earn bragging rights and a place on the restaurant’s wall of fame.
Restaurant staff always remind participants that the challenge is entirely voluntary, but for many, surviving the heat is a badge of honour that lasts far longer than the burn.
