I Cooked A Frozen Meal In An Active Volcano - Summary

Summary

The narrative describes the protagonist's journey to cook the world's hottest curry in an active volcano. Starting from a supermarket in the UK, the protagonist picks a curry from the frozen food section. As the narrative progresses, the protagonist shares their dislike for spicy food and their ambition to eat the world's hottest curry, even if it means cooking it in a volcano.

The protagonist receives a call about a volcanic eruption and hastily prepares to travel to Iceland. Upon arrival, they meet Chris, a volcano specialist, and together they hike to the peak of the volcano. The conditions are challenging, with winds and the risk of toxic fumes. Despite these risks, they decide to proceed.

Upon reaching the volcano's edge, they find a lava flow heading straight towards them. With no time to lose, the protagonist cooks the curry on the lava, which is hot enough to melt plastic. Despite the heat and danger, the curry is cooked successfully. This marks the first time a chicken korma has been cooked in an active volcano.
