I did a cook up of chicken stew and put some paraffin over it to set it on fire for a few seconds like in the restaurant.
On the next morning i was heaving sick - allergy? Did i put too much parafinn?

Did you use the wax or the stuff used in the little burners to heat food? The wax could make you sick but the alcohol used in burners is toxic.
To light food on fire you need to use a shot or two of high proof alcohol. Most places use vodka so it doesn't interfere with the taste of the food.

Parafin shouldn't make you sick if it is food grade. I've used it in chocolate fondant recipes to make the finished product shinier. Probably the chicken made you sick.
Of course you could be allergic to something in the dish you made.

Parafin is wax. If it was the edible type and you ate a whole bunch there should be no problem (you might get a slight case of the runs) but if you ate unedible, the wax might cause cramping and, again, runs.

Yes. Next time, use a shot of brandy.
