Two Women Hospitalized After Curry Competition

Two women were sent to the hospital during a curry chili competition. The Kismot Restaurant in Scotland hosts an annual “Kismot Curry” dish competition where contestants are encouraged to eat the signature dish.

The competition was set up to raise money for the Chas charity. The special ingredient of the “Kismot Curry” was the Indian ‘Naga Jolokia’ chili, which is said to be the hottest chili in the world. Of the twenty contestants ten were left vomiting while the rest backed out.

The two winners were Beverly Jones and Curie Kim, who unfortunately were both sent to the hospital afterwards for stomach pains. All and all, the event was said to be a failure. But hey, at least they were trying for a charity.
