In August this year, Edinburgh’s Kismot restaurant brewed up some useful publicity with the Kismot Killer, a curry so hot that it could be used as a blacksmith’s forge. Customers who ordered it were supposed to sign a health disclaimer and, if they finished it, a picture of their presumably beetroot-coloured face was added to the restaurant’s hall of stupidity fame.

The restaurant’s latest wheeze is to cook chocolate bars in naan bread. Customers are invited to bring in a choc bar of their own choice for it to be stuffed in a naan and baked. I loved the reporting in the Evening News. Apparently, customers have brought in Bounty and Crunchie bars. Fair enough if that’s your thing but I liked the detail that some customers had also brought in bars of organic chocolate. Only in Edinburgh.

‘Fancy a chocolate naan, Farqhuar?’

‘Only if it’s Green and Blacks choco, Hamish’
