An Intriguing Tale Of Being An Owner

“LONDON – Super spicy chili sauce being cooked at a London Thai restaurant sparked road closures and evacuations after passers-by complained that the smell was burning their throats, police said Wednesday.”

London Fire Brigade’s chemical response team was called because of strong smell from a restaurant in London’s Soho district. Fearing terrorism folks were evacuated, roads were closed and they even sealed off several premises to look for the source of it.

They smashed down the door of the Thai Cottage restaurant and seized extra-hot bird’s eye chilies which had been left dry-frying. They were preparing a spicy thai dip call Nam Prik Pao.

I guess I too, need to be careful when i cook Sambal or any strong chilli now. Afterall, in this day and age, anything can trigger the squads to come down and raid your place.. .when it comes to terrorism.
