Try not to get killed by The Donkatsu of Death, one of the spiciest foods in Seoul, Korea
If you feel ready to brave this dish of spicy pork cutlets also known as the Drop Dead Donkatsu, head to Onjeong Donkatsu in Gwanak-gu, but be sure to bring your own carton of milk. We can’t tell you what’s in the sinister-looking, blood red sauce that covers the cutlets, as the owner keeps mum on the recipe. All we can say for sure is that it contains the spiciest chilli on earth – either way, most diners can only manage a few bites before giving up. If you do manage to finish the whole thing, though, give yourself a pat on the back as you will be part of only a proud few to have unlocked this achievement.
