A week after Hayley had a Vindaloo at our local tandoori (thus frightening the owner who has previously had to call an ambulance for a customer who went into labour), we returned to order something even hotter!
The owner's face was a picture when we walked through the door. To his credit he really came up with the goods, getting the chef to make one of his specialities "Asian style". This was a very spicy kind of Chicken Jalfrezi.
When it arrived, initially Hayley said it wasn't as hot as she expected. Then she ate a large piece of ochra that turned out not to be ochra at all but a fresh chilli! Fortunately we had ordered a yoghurt drink to cool burning mouths. However, this turned out to be an own goal: it seems that it not only cools the mouth but also prevents any "nasty" after-effects such as an upset tummy. But a bit of an upset tummy was exactly what we wanted to start labour.
Oh well, we had a great evening with great food and a long chat with the owner.
