A Scottish restaurant is in hot water after the Scottish Ambulance Service announced Wednesday it wants the eatery to review the way it managed a "world's hottest chilli contest" in which a number of contestants fell ill.
Two people were taken to the hospital on Saturday after the competition at the curry establishment Kismot Restaurant. Many more became ill.
Emergency services were called to the scene after competitors fainted, fell to the floor in agony and vomited during the competition.
Participants were required to sign a legal disclaimer prior to taking part in the competition. Two members of the British Red Cross were on hand, but additional help was required to tend to all those who fell ill.
Chilli served in European and Asian countries is different than the chili familiar in the United States. The overseas version is a sauce, usually made with curry, as opposed to the hearty American chili (with one "l") made with beans and a tomato base.
