My Mouth is Watering! - Now this is one of those stories that is both funny and sad at the same time.
From Ananova:
A Thai restaurant's spicy chilli sauce sparked fears of a chemical attack and led police to evacuate a busy London street.
Police closed off three roads and evacuated homes as a mysterious cloud of acrid smoke hovered over Soho for three hours, reports The Times.
As the ambulance service sent in its Hazardous Area Response Team Unit, firefighters wearing specialist breathing apparatus entered the deserted streets to seek out the source.
They broke down the door of the Thai Cottage restaurant - to emerge later carrying a huge cooking pot containing about 9lb of smouldering dried chillies.
It's sad because we live in such times that something like this would be considered and justifiably so as a chemical attack. Funny because it's just a Thai restaurant preparing what I don't doubt was some really good hot sauce. I'd like to try some. Which reminds me. I think I have a few peppers out on the bush out back ready to be picked.
