The Hottest Chillies in Bolivia!



Here at the Star of India, on Calle Cochabamba just off Sagárnaga, they make the world’s hottest (and most dangerous) Vindaloo. We thought we’d give it a try, and as you can see from the shot, it’s really just a mush of hideously red-hot chillies. Such was the lethal power of this dish, that just after one small probing, experimental mouthful, Jon was unable to focus. Other star turns on the table were a Chicken Korma (nutty, mild and surprisingly robust against the fiery onslaught) and a Llama Tikka Massala. We kid you not!
Anyways, the upshot was that the prize for finishing this hellish Vindaloo was a t-shirt. And here it is… Are the smiles at all forced?
