'If you don't like spicy food, why order a curry?' Teenager who complained about a Wetherspoon's chicken korma gets unwittingly locked into an epic Twitter spat with a PARODY account

• e-mail

A disgruntled customer who took to Twitter to complain about the 'spiciness' of the pub chicken korma she was served was fooled into an amusing online spat with a parody account.

Ellemay Coleman, 16, from Skelmersdale, Lancashire, outlined her gripe with JD Wetherspoon's Indian-inspired dish at the chain's well known 'curry club' evening on Thursday last week.

Not having a palate for spicy foods, Ellemay ordered the chicken korma assuming it would be a mild dish - but was disappointed when she tucked into the feast.

Ellemay Coleman went to a JD Wetherspoon pub for 'curry club' but was disappointed by the level of spice in the chicken korma she was served

The student, 16, from Skelmersdale, Lancashire, took to Twitter to highlight her dissatisfaction with her meal but ended up in an online spat with a parody account

Ellemay insisted that the 'coconut based curry' should 'traditionally' be sweet and not spicy

Despite being described by JD Wetherspoon as a 'traditional, mild, sweet curry', Ellemay found it was too spicy for her and took to Twitter to complain.

She wrote: 'I've got to say @WetherspoonsUK that today I'm disappointed, I have just tried you chicken korma and it was spicy! What's going on? [sic]'

But little did she know she had tweeted an account masquerading as JD Wetherspoons customer services and she fell into a comical exchange of words.

The account replied: 'It's a curry. What on earth are you talking about? Tom.'

Ellemay responded: 'Chicken korma is a coconut and cream based curry that isn't even mild, it's a sweet curry.'

'No, it's a curry, curry is spicy! Everyone knows that,' said 'Tom', from the parody account.

Growing increasingly frustrated, Ellemay said: 'Okay, you tell me Tom how a coconut curry is supposed to be hot.'

Continuing the wind up, 'Tom' wrote: 'Hot? Who said it should be hot? I certainly didn't. And you said it was a chicken korma.'

But little did she know she had tweeted an account masquerading as JD Wetherspoons customer services and she fell into a comical exchange of words.

In a subsequent tweet, he taunted her further: 'If you don't like spicy food then why on earth did you order a curry?'

Ellemay replied: 'Omg, the curry is a coconut curry. I hate spicy food so I order a korma like I would if I'd go to the Indian [sic].'

Getting further incensed, she later pointed out that a chicken korma was 'traditionally not spicy'.

The comedy exchange continued until Ellemay finally realised her mistake, but she was able to see the funny side

The parody account replied: 'Traditionally? It also traditionally wouldn't be served in a high street pub so you should expect the unexpected.'

After a lengthily conversation, Ellemay eventually realised she had been tweeting a fake account - but did manage to see the funny side.

She later wrote: 'I'm not going to lie, it was a good laugh but I'm still fuming about me curry.'

Ellemay told Femail: 'I haven't taken any offense from people's comments. Me and tom have become besties and he stuck up for me on a few occasions he's a "top lad".'

JD Wetherspoons has been contacted for comment but is yet to respond.
