I had one of those about seven years ago, went for drinks for my birthday at Revolution. People were buying me drinks all night and then somebody handed me a clear looking shot that was icey cold to the touch. I knocked it back and I was on fire! It was crazy, especially as it was so cold, it was such a bizarre sensation. Wouldn't surprise me that they had to tone it down.
Phall vs Vindaloo - much hotter?

i once made a shot for my friend which consisted of a teaspoon of daves insanity sauce mixed with whiskey and disarono lol. it looked foul, and probably tasted it too!
i think it didnt agree with him either, he downed a pint of milk, then disapeared into the toilet for half hour

i had this chilli shot in revs before. After 3 trips to the loo for my eyes and running nose i was kicked out by the bouncers, they suspected id been taking drugs. Tried to claim it was their product that had caused this, but it didnt help all my mates were calling me a crackhead while i made my plea
On topic, hot currys are nasty, wouldnt even consider. Did have a korma once that was like rice pudding so i only go afew up

I enjoy a nice Jalfrezi etc, but the really hot curries aren't nice, they're hot for the sake of it, and it kills the flavour. I bet they don't even do them anything like that in India either
Heat is nice, but flavour must come first.

Spicy dupiaza (rather than medium) from down tooting way > All this phaal or vindaloo crap
If you want a truly magnificent vindaloo that isn't just crammed full of spicy for the 'english wana be show offs' then eat at veerswamy just off Regent street. Their Duck Vindaloo is the best curry I have had at a restaurant, and the restaurant in general is just luuurvly.
N.b. Going by typical english standards a standard jalfrezi or mild madras is my limit, but that's coming from most average places that many people eat at.

up near the junction? bugger, used to live on coleridge so would've been really close for it
cheers for the recommendation tho, will check it out soon
At my local curry house the Vindaloo's are nice - takes a while to get used to the heat but you do soon enough. After about 5 vindaloo's I decided to try a phall..Dam it was in another league of heat.
Heatwise i'd say: Vindaloo 7/10
Phall 10/10
Didnt really enjoy it as it was just like eating molten lava.
