I regularly consume Vindaloo curries and really enjoy them. I'm tempted to try a Phall next time.

Are they as bad as people make out? :D
 
Depends entirely on where you get it. One curry house's vindaloo can be hotter than the phall at the next.

It it's a good phall, it will still be tasty as well as shred your insides.
 
I tried a phal once (usually eat madras and vindaloo) and i could handle the heat just didnt like the taste and texture of it and havent had one since.

The only people that wince about phals are those who cant handle them,give one a try and see how you like it.

Ask if its guaranteed to break your muck-up BEFORE you purchase!
 
Believe me as hot curry fan. The before night i flew to Hong Kong with the RAF i had a meat phall from the Prince of India in Abingdon. It was so hot and painfull it was great with a few beers, tasted great. So glad my flight to Hong Kong was delayed 6 Hrs at Gatwick. Spent most of that 6 Hrs in the airport toilets, forget colonic irrigation. a good quality phall is unbeatable if not a "little" painfull next day !!!!!
 
i like madras but never gone higher in the hotness stakes, why dont you just ask them to tone it down a bit and work up to full strength if you like it?
 
I had a buddy who used to pride himself on being a real man - slaying bears with his bare hands, having a hairy chest, playing rugby...that type of real man.

We went to my local Indian resturaunt where he proudly announced that he wanted "the hottest curry you've got" to the owner (who I know very well as I've been going there for years). The owner took the order and gave me a sly smile as he went away...twenty minutes and four pints later the curry was brought out and turned out to be a Phaal.

My mate dug in with his naan bread and proclaimed how it "wasn't that hot at all"...but five minutes later he was dripping with sweat, which he claimed was just because it was hot in the restaurant, but the finishing touch was that his nose started to bleed. Obviously he couldn't be proven to be a feeble mortal and he finished the curry (with a napkin up each nostril) to prove his alpha male-ness as well as drinking six more pints.

Apparently it was just as spicy coming out as it was going in.
 
I had a phall once, after consumption of beer damaged my judgement. The commentator in Azagoth's link is right though: it starts OK, but then just gets hotter and hotter. Capsaicin is fat-soluble, but not water-soluble, so beer will have no effect, but naans or raitas will help. I wimped out about 90% of the way through.

Uriel is also correct: it depends a lot where you eat one (and many places don't even offer them). If your curry house specialises in the Friday night "I can eat a hotter curry than you" crowd then it will be like eating napalm laced with sulphuric acid. If the restaurant tends towards the gourmet end you might survive.

And keep your toilet paper in the fridge, because it hurts nearly as much when it comes out again the next morning.
