Debbie Armstrong Scoffs at Your Weak Chilis
Those who claim to love spicy foods have a new standard-bearer in the form of 28-year-old Debbie Armstrong of Scotland. Armstrong ate a curry loaded with a bevy of Dorset Nagas, the hottest chilis known to man, and didn’t even break a sweat, the Scotsman reports.
The mum-of-two from North Berwick set restaurateur Assader Ali, owner of Zest on North St Andrews Street, the challenge of making a curry that would make her head spin.
Relishing the task, he ordered half a dozen super strong Dorset Naga chillis – over 100 times hotter than the strongest jalapeno.
It is the same chilli which was used by a London restaurateur to create the Bollywood Burner – which required guests sign a health disclaimer before tucking in.
When IT recruitment consultant Debbie arrived to sample the dish yesterday, she declared it delicious but hardly enough to raise a sweat.

Finishing off the last of it with some rice, Debbie said: “It was delicious, and it was probably the hottest curry I’ve ever had – but it’s still not hot enough.”
Mr Ali has vowed to create something even stronger. He said: “Next time, I’ll make sure the chillis are super-fresh and hopefully Debbie will finally be satisfied.”
Dorset nagas have Virgin group chair Richard Branson to thank for their recent UK fame. Get your own Dorset Naga here.
