LONDON - Super spicy chili sauce being cooked at a London Thai restaurant sparked road closures and evacuations after passers-by complained that the smell was burning their throats, police said Wednesday.

London Fire Brigade's chemical response team was called after reports that a strong smell was wafting from the restaurant in the heart of London's Soho district Monday afternoon, a Metropolitan police spokesman said, speaking anonymously in line with force policy.

Authorities sealed off several premises and closed roads. The Times of London described shoppers coughing and spluttering as firefighters wearing special breathing masks sought the source of the smell.

The paper said firefighters smashed down the door of the Thai Cottage restaurant and seized extra-hot bird's eye chilies which had been left dry-frying. It said they were being prepared as part of a batch of Nam Prik Pao, a spicy Thai dip.

"The smoke didn't go up into the sky because of the rain and the heavy air," The Times quoted Thai Cottage owner Sue Wasboonma as saying. "It's the hottest thing we make."

The police spokesman said no arrests were made in the case.

"As far as I'm aware it's not a criminal offense to cook very strong chili," he said.

Haha...that sounds like my house every weekend, when I am cookin' 'em down...Silly Brits...

Speaking of Evacuations in London, on August 20th, I took a train from Liverpool to London. As my son and I got off the train the sirens started and they evacuated the train station.

Is this a regular occurrence in London? My Cab driver said that he had not seen anything like it in over a year.

Arrrr, Cap'n Jack must have let one go! Arrrrr!!

Really? It sounds like the Luftwaffe was on the way but as we all know that probably wasn't the case it we'll need a Londoner to clarify? Cap'n, care to elucidate?

You never know what they're cooking inside their silky sleeves...

She Was Hot, Hot, Hot

Reminds me of the Simpson's episode with Homer and the Chili Cookoff. He hallucinates all night after eating some fire hot chili.
