I have certainly climbed the ladder over the past few years but in all honesty, would not eat anything hotter than a madras or Jalfrezi. I like the naga taste but wouldn't have continued eating your dish as you have explained it. Especially in fear of the effects you have described the day after.
I've had so many spicy curry dishes over the past months that I now do not enjoy them as the dishes they once were. I have become far too familiar with them. Instead, I now prefer milder dishes that I can taste and dare I say, I have become bored with curry.
I once had a friend that I dared to eat a whole standard size jar of Coleman's Hot English Mustard. He consumed it with a burger as was agreed. He suffered a similar experience, with mustard weeping from his tears, he was even sneezing it through his nose. He had to ask for a towel to mop up the copious amount of sweat, you could see the pain on his face, but despite all this, he won the bet and earned his 2 pints of Guinness! Why he chose to do this to himself I have no idea.
