The spiciest foods from around the world

In this New York City eatery, you can eat curry that's made with some of the hottest peppers in
the world. Heat-seekers may be interested in Brick Lane Curry House's spicy phaal, a type of
British-Indian curry. The menu describes the dish as being "an excruciatingly hot curry" that
can cause sweat and pain. The phaal is made with multiple types of ground chilies and one of
the peppers used here is the Carolina Reaper, famous for being one of the hottest peppers in the
world,. When in New York City, those who dare can take part in the restaurant's spicy phaal
challenge. If challengers successfully finish a dish of the curry, they can make it onto the
P'HALL OF FAME and earn a special certificate.

In Ireland, you can chow down on chicken wings that have been infused with Carolina Reapers.
Just Wing It, a restaurant in Dublin, makes some of the world's spiciest wings by infusing them
with Carolina Reapers, one of the spiciest peppers in the world. The wings are so hot that the
head chef wears gloves and a face mask while he cooks them, according to Lovin Dublin.

China is home to one of the world's spiciest hotpot varieties. Chongqing, is sometimes referred
to as the "Hotpot City" so it's no surprise that it's one of the most popular places to find a
Sichuan Hotpot - which has been called the spiciest hotpot in China. People from around the
world visit Chongqing to try this dish, which is a simmering soup that typically contains garlic,
oil, red chiles, and Sichuan peppercorns. This hotpot can be ordered from a variety of locations
in China and it can be customized to be more or less spicy depending on your personal
preference.

In England, you can try chicken wings that are coated in a sauce that's about 500 times hotter
than a jalapeño. At Red Dog Saloon, you can order chicken wings coated in a sauce that's made
from Naga Viper chilies, which were voted the world's hottest pepper by the Guinness Book of
World Records in 2011.The UK-based eatery even offers the Naga Vaper Chili Challenge in
which challengers have 10 minutes to eat six of these sauce-coated wings. After they finish,
they must endure a 5-minute "burn period" in which they cannot have any food or drinks.
Challengers must also wear rubber gloves during the challenge and sign a waiver before it
begins.
