No, this isn't a thread about me!!! :D :D I took the mini HB's to the Chilli Fiesta at West Dean, Chichester yesterday..... the boys managed to eat their way round most of the stalls and then bled me dry with all their purchases..... youngest got a Medusa, and oldest got a Thai Dragon It was great fun, loads to do and see, very, very hot and dusty, and I managed to stumble across the famous Dorset Naga...... the hottest chilli in world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I picked up a plant and a bag of 6 of these world famous chillies..... so, are you ....... MAN or WHIMP????????!!!!!!!!!! I will send out one to each of you who feel you are up for the challenge........ 1st 6 gets one each!!!!!! No cheating!!!!!!! None of this "pah, call that hot???!!!" I did a test run and touched a tiny bit on my tongue.... O - M - G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT handle with unprotected fingers...... I used knife and fork...... DO NOT leave where a young child can touch or put in their mouth!!!!! So come on, who's the hardest???? Will it be one of us girlies, or a hairy bloke??? (mind you, all the hairs'll be blown off!!!! ) :D :D Let the Battle begin!!!!!!!!!!!! Heres some info on them...... http://www.chillisgalore.co.uk/pages/chilli_facts.html
Hey, they're nice looking HB, especially the tree one. I'm up for the challenge ... I'll PM my details ... :D
Ah..well,...OF COURSE,I would normally take up a challange like that ,but at the moment I'm not tooooo well. Maybe another time. :( :D :D not!
Count me in HB I'll PM you, the ones I have now make you think your lips are bleeding so it will be a test alright! :D
Count me out HB, I always keep a pot of creme fraiche handy for diluting ordinary spicy things, so just a whimp!!! :D
Hi HB,I am so jealouse, I would have loved to have gone their, don't know if you saw my posting about it. I am glad you and the boys had a good time sounds great. Would love to try one of your Dorset Naga chilli's if you are offering :D
Hi Dalbuie Have PM'd you!!!! West Dean is a stunning place in stunning Sussex countryside....... just a pity I wasn't able to sample the local cider being sold there..... :D
Oh please can I have one. My husband belongs to the can't have too much garlic or chillies in any recipe school of cooking. Maybe this time I can have him beat. I will PM my details Thanks so much B
Hi, barbaraanne, I don't think I've said hello to you yet .. so, ola! Your husband and mine must have gone to the same school of chilli men ... by the way, it's the standard tree looking chilli we're getting and I just can't wait because we've only got piri-piri plants here! PS I'm not from the hot school, just cater to it!
Hi HB Only just seen this thread. would love to try one if there is any left. I'll PM you. I tend to eat chillies with every meal - they are great to eat raw with roast beef. -------------- shiney
OK - I have the 6 nutters - er - I mean volunteers.... The Chillies will be sent out tonight & I'll pm those who got in first.... ...conspicuous by your absence, Webmaster!!!! So I have put an extra one aside for you....
Mornin Honey Bee The chillies arrives this morning safe and sound. I was just making him indoors his porridge so only just resisted the urge to put one in it. I doubt I will be trying them as I am pathetic to pain but will let you know what the expert thinks. Thank you. I will save the seeds and try to grow them next year. I preume I can start them off in the conservatory (no greenhouse) and them put them out when the weather warms up. Hi Lady of Leisure Ola - don't speak Potugese but un poco of Spanish didn't know Ola was the same in both. Tengo una casa en Espana pero mucho calor en verano. Es possible visite en Septeimbre. I think thats right but I do get all the spelling wrong. B
Hi Honey Bee, I left the house this morning before the post had arrived, had a lovely day at the zoo with my youngest and a friend. What a lovely surprise to find your chilli's had arrived when we got back, that was quick!.Thank you once again, I will have a look for some recipes with them for you.
