Indian woman eats 51 bhut jolokia for British TV
(from Paul Barlow) The The Daily Mail reports that Anandita Dutta Tamuly ate 51 bhut jolokia peppers, considered the spiciest peppers in the world, in 2 minutes in Jorhut, India. Chef Gordon Ramsay of Hell’s Kitchen observed the feat, which will appear on a program he is producing for the British network Channel 4. She also rubbed the seeds from some peppers in her eyes.
AFP reports that Gordon Ramsey served as the official monitor for the Guinness Book of World Records, which requested that Ms. Tamuly’s pepper prowess be observed by “someone responsible”. She had hoped to receive a Guinness record for eating 60 bhut jolokias in 2 minutes in 2007, but no such recognition was apparently bestowed. The current official Guinness pepper eating record is 8 jalapenos in a minute.
