5LB INDIAN CURRY EATING CHALLENGE

5lb Indian curry eating challenge is something I wanted to try as I was asked how much weight in food can I consume. Well, the answer is right here - in the form of a delicious dopiaza curry made by the capable hands of City Spice, Brick Lane, London. I have recently been involved with a food challenge or two and I was intrigued to see how much curry I could eat in one sitting.
Let me tell you, Darren John will tell you Off The Charts
I would like to see what other challenges I can give myself in future vlogs - between filming the beautiful sights of London.

Hiya Dazzler! Loving the brand new look and intro on your Vlog and page! Congratulations on what you have achieved! 5lb of food! I don’t know where you put all that curry I could barely eat one plateful but I do love mushroom rice with curry too and a garlic naan. Yum. Looked amazing and off the charts as always DJ. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻

[@DarrenJohn]

It helps to have great quality food Off the charts Sara

Well done Darren. OMG 5lbs of food is amazing but i bet it was easier, being a curry, to keep going as its so delicious. If you did it again would you pick different curries to break up the flavour. I bet it was a while before you was hungry again. Top quality as always DJ xxxxxxx

Well done Darren on eating all that curry I take my hat off to you can't wait to see what in your next blog all the best from Roger young

Appreciate it Roger

[@bigcee3338]

Whilst it must be stressed that no animals nor children were harmed or affected during the making of this video, it was nevertheless quite fiery and taking one's breath away. We all know the Dazzmani for his quality, finesse and Splash, this was taking it to yet another level. He would be the first to admit hes no Randy Santel or Beardsmeatsfood, this was a brave effort tbf, Quality over Quantity was the order of the day, and by letting the camera do the talking this was like watching Keith Floyd sitting down to eat one of his own creations but without the preverbial slurp of vino . the magic touch as with every DJ content was playing the Commodore's track 'Easy' sung by the crooner himself giving the challenge a unique sublime touch.. As Dick Emery famously said ooh you are awful but i like you As every mouthful of curry dissspeared... This for me was putting DJ right up there with any food lover, making it look a lot more simple than i presume it was !! And we all know he scoffed the last plate the morning after. On conclusion to yet another masterpiece Youve got to say in no uncertain terms THE BOY DONE WELL. O.T.C..... 10/10 Big Cee looking for a Pharmacy Issan Thailand

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you Charlie, A challenge with certainly challenged me. i In the opening lines of the song - "I know it sounds funny but I just cant stand the pain", 😂 by the time I reached the 3rd curry dish, I was definitely feeling the pain Thanks for watching and all the best to you

Darren a few years back you would of eaten all of that food very easily . But as we get older we can't eat that much food as my doctor told me years ago as we get older our gullet gets smaller . That is true as i still love my food but can't eat what i use to eat , But i always eat more fruit now except for Bananas unless they are going black then i can eat them more easy .. Love the video as i found your 3 lots of rice was plenty of rice as i have never seen portions like that for a long time .
