30 Fears in 30 Days: Eat the Hottest Curry

Thursday, 28 August 2008

In August 2008 Grant went on a journey to become comfortable being uncomfortable by facing 30 fears in 30 days and to raise the profile of the Discovery for Teens programme.

Little India Bistro & Tandoor donated $1000 to Discovery for Teens as well as offering fear no. 9 - 'Eat the Hottest Curry'

Blog: Hottest Curry

WOW that was hot! My whole mouth started to swell up and I couldn't talk properly, however I managed to make my way through 2/3 of the curry! I did about 1/2 then though no way can I eat anymore of that without going into anaphylactic shock! Then I remembered a cool quote, "you can keep going long after you think you can't" – so ate some more. I started to sweat and feel really light-headed as I was eating it and seriously it was really painful, even the owner couldn't eat it. Hayden, the camera guy, had one mouthful and was complaining about having a sore stomach for about 30 minutes afterwards. I have been giving some serious thought to how my language effects how I feel about things so from now on FEARS shall be referred to as Challenges, I'll see if the way I talk about things effects how I feel about things which should in turn effect the experience I have.
