Phall vs Vindaloo - much hotter?

Why would eating a hot curry give you cancer?

My apologies I was just suggesting that such fiery chillie-ness might be poisonous to that tender region of your body in jest.

Problem in most places is that the hot curries are just loaded with chilli heat...no depth to them.

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?

Yes, if it's made correctly.

I know a guy who works in a family run curry house in cambridge. We order phall sauce most times just to see if it was as bad as the last. The pain is indescribable. Last time the chef had to leave the kitchen the chilly fumes we so potent. He only knows one man who can actually eat one.

I love curry and go to Indian's regularly, but I've never heard of a Phall. Is that the dishes full name?

Ask for a Phallacy... it amounts to the same thing after you've eaten it.

a lot of the indians round here dont list them on their menu's just ask for one when you order.

eating aphall is like eating a marine distress flare

A friend and I used to have a phall every monday night in Edgeware, the owner of the restaurant was a good friend of Neil, they used to do us a special, vindaloo flavour but phall hotness, ie less tomato than a normal phall. It was very good indeed.

Ouch, I don't understand why anyone would subject themselves to such torture. I find I can't even taste the curry when you get much hotter than a jalfrezi or something. It's just agony for your tongue, and beer and water make it worse.

heh to be honest I am getting on a bit now but I was the typical jack the lad can eat and drink anything and could out eat and out drink a small herd of wildebeast but I once made the mistake of mouthing off on the move up from Vindaloo to Phall in Whitley bay not so far from the place mentioned in the link above.

Honestly I have done the eat the raw chillies without a drink sort of stupidness but the Phall I had at a now defunct place 20 years ago put me off even Vindaloo for life.

The point where cold lager seems to just evaporate before it hits your mouth is I decided just a liittle too hot for me.

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.

This. Phaal is lovely.

A phall is pain on a plate.

I love hot curries, never had a vindaloo that was too hot then I went somewhere and saw a phall on the menu.

Never again.

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 love that story.

Had phaal years ago and it was damn tasty but the heat i havent eaten anything that hot ever! Its really nice but expect to feel like your mouth has concentrated flame in it

Substance · 11 Sep 2009 at 00:24

I'm really boring when it comes to curry, I don't usually mind hot food but I always worry that if I get something too hot then I won't like it and it will be £10 down the drain, I usually just go for a bhuna or a balti

Lol comparing a Phall to Vindaloo is like comparing a Desert Eagle .50AE to a Gat Gun to be honest

! I have only ever had a Phall once sober and couldn't feel my face half way through eating it and the next day I was blessed with the passing of the Antichrist from my anus

, never has the need for ice cube love beads been so necessary.

beermonster · 11 Sep 2009 at 00:51

I love Phall's I got so addicted I once asked them to make it extra hot, it was like eating hot coals, Vindaloos can be hot but it depends on the curry house, some are quite mild. I just love the fact that you can still taste it the next day, people that say its too hot to have flavour are wrong, a good phall has a very nice flavour I guess its down to what you get used to.

NickK · 11 Sep 2009 at 01:09

Never tried Vindaloo or Phall. Maybe with my recent Dorset Naga experiences I'll have a try. I've had some seriously hot Thai dishes which may equal them. I've also cooked Thai red curry with masses of paste and a Naga resulting in the king prawns being like hot lava coals.
