How hot are Thai food?
Well if you want to know, it’s enough for the police to close 3 roads, sealed off a whole building and had specialist crews broke down the door to a Thai restaurant.
The reason? Well as they were preparing Nam Prik Pao (Thai Chili Paste) the smell of the red hot chillies required by the recipe caused people from the surrounding areas to cough really bad and they suspected something very wrong was happening.
They called up the police as they feared it was a chemical attack by terrorist!
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “The street was closed off for three hours while we were trying to discover the source of the odour.”
Three hours? Maybe the oxygen masks prevents free movement on the part of the police huh?
Okay so now we know, if the westerners smell durian, they think there are corpse decomposing somewhere, if its Thai chilli, it’s a terrorist attack!
