World’s hottest chilli competition sends two to hospital

Edinburgh – Two people have been taken to hospital following the “world’s hottest chilli” competition at an Edinburgh Indian restaurant. Emergency services were called to the Kismot restaurant in St Leonards Street after some competitors became “very unwell”. The competition involves people eating the “Kismot Killer” curry. On the restaurant’s website it insists that participants sign a legal disclaimer before taking part in the competition, which raises money for the Scottish children’s charity Chas. It is understood that members of the British Red Cross were on hand at the event, but the Scottish Ambulance Service still had to be called because two people had such a violent reaction.  more
