Hottest curry competition

[MenorcaQueen]

We are holding a charity night to raise money for our local childrens hospice.
Hottest curry competition!!!
Need a disclaimer for entrants to sign to cover us from any potential lawsuits.
Can anyone help????

[Gormless]

Not with the disclaimer, but most certainly with the hottest
curry!

Do the usual bit with onions and garlic, Pataks vindaloo sauce and tinned tomatoes, but then the final flourish - 1 or 2 chopped Dorset Naga chillis. This will be supremely hot, I promise you.

[puddicat]

There must be a retired or kindly lawyer that would draft you one for free!!

[MenorcaQueen]

I thought so especially as its for such a good cause.

Something nice and simple like this will do -

To Whom It May Concern -

I __________ have agreed to take part in the 'Hotest Curry Competition' for funds for the _______ Hospice.

I understand that by signing this document, I agree to undertake the Competition at my own risk, and I legally indemnify all parties involved in the preparation and delivery of the foods involved, from any consequences which may arise as a result of eating the food.

My signnature confirms that I have undertaken this Competition entirely at my own risk.

Thanks a million Andy. Great relief. Much appreciated.

[MenorcaQueen]

Does this say enough? Just want to make sure we are covered.

If you take Gormless's advice and add 1 or 2 Dorset Naga to a standard size vindaloo, you'll need more than a lawyer, you'll need a doctor. It would be an EXTREMELEMEELEMELY hot curry if you added half a Dorset Naga chilli to a standard curry. Two Dorset Naga would be insane.

[daginge]

I like hot food but must agree Dorset Nagas are a little extreme! They are of course The Hottest Chilli in history measuring in excess of 1,000,000 scovilles! That's over 100 times hotter than your average Jalapeno! Please be very careful!!!

[MenorcaQueen]

Thanks for the recipe help but its more the legal side and the the rules and regulations I need.

[Gormless]

re: Dorset Naga - I cook very large curries, 5-6 portions at a time. I agree that 2 Dorset Nagas would be excessive even for a curry this size. I usually add just one, but also a handful of small green chillies.

I am trying to grow Dorset Naga from seed this year.

[Boom,Boom]

i could eat triple the chillis you can eat gorm. really. i have never met my match anywhere in the world. i put 35 birds eye chillis in my last curry and that was just for 1 serving. didnt even make me sweat :)

[Gormless]

BB, have you tried a Dorset Naga, seriously? They are quite small and a bit crinkly, but they are mind-blowingly hot to the point of severe pain and I-really-wish-I-hadn't-done-that. If you've ever tried a teaspoon of the capsaicin-type sauces like Dave's Insanity Sauce, then you know pain, but the Dorset Naga takes it to a new level. I have 2 boxes in the freezer. I wish I could post you one.

[Boom,Boom]

ya no i havent tried. i will buysome as soon as i return to uk and hope i can eat my words in my last statement :) i am looking forward to it

[andy-hughes]

Yes, that covers you - and you are most welcome.

Anyone who would think of legal action after a charity event - and that has to be an outside chance - just needs to be reminded that they signed a legal disclaimer, and you will be delighted to provide them with a photocopy - you keep the original of course - and you will see them in court.

Nothing will happen - promise!
