"Nam Prik Pao: the chilli paste that sparks a terror alert
Did you hear it on the news about the chilli paste that caused a terror alert in London yesterday? A Thai restaurant in Soho was preparing Nam Prik Pao, a chilli paste (or chilli jam) condiment used in Thai cooking. The process involves deliberately burning the chilli, causing pungent fume that was mistaken for a chemical attack. The area was evacuated while emergency crew searched for the source. The search ended at a large pot of burning chilli pods."
I read this on a new blog that I found. http://chezpim.typepad.com/blogs/
She has a bunch of great recipes. Don't worry, Curt, I won't try this one!
