Bengal Village in Brick Lane, London, claims to serve up the hottest curry in London, and judging by the videos doing the rounds on social media, it’s hard not to believe them.

A lad named Daniel was the latest victim of the hottest curry in London challenge, which involves a curry made with a devastating 72 varieties of chilli. Here’s how that panned out for young Daniel:

Brutal stuff. As if the curry wasn’t painful enough, imagine having the owner Raj yapping in your ear while you’re dying on the pavement outside the restaurant. Let’s hope Daniel has a roll of toilet paper in the freezer at home because I’ve got a feeling he’s going to need it over the next couple days.

Yeah, count me out. All the Nexium in the world isn’t going to save you on this one.
