Man tucks in to world's hottest curry

55-year-old Ian Rothwell is the first person ever to eat an entire helping of the world's hottest curry.

Served up at the Bindi Indian restaurant in Lincolnshire, "The Widower" is a curry like no other - weighing in at six million on the Scoville scale the dish is so ludicrously hot that even the process of making it is an ordeal. "More than 300 people have tackled The Widower before, but no one has ever been able to finish one," said executive chef Muhammed Karim. "We’ve had people sweating, crying, shaking and vomiting. We even had to ring an ambulance once."

Rothwell however was up for the challenge. It took him about an hour to down the spice-infused meal, during which time he suffered through a variety of symptoms including floods of tears, sweating and hallucinations so bad that at one point he had to leave the table and go for a walk down the street. Eventually however he managed to finish off the whole thing and became the first and only person ever to do so.
