    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!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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!

    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.

    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.
