LONDON Weds 3 Oct - How's this for bizzare? A Thai restaurant's sercret chilli concoction managed to set off alarm bells in Central London, causing police to shut down the area and breaking into the restaurant.
Streets were closed off around London Soho area as police investigated the cause of what they thought were 'chemical bio-weapons' in play. The Hazardous Area Response Team were dispatched immediately after someone thought they smelt something suspicious.
Chef Chalemchai Tangjariyapoon who made the chilli is baffled and amused at the whole event. "I was making a spicy dip with extra-hot chillis that are deliberately burnt. To us, it smells like burnt chilli and it is slightly unusual," He told one London newspaper. "I can understand why people who weren't Thai would not know what it was. But it doesn't smell like chemicals."
