Next door neighbour grows chillies and he gives us some now and then and a couple of years ago a bottle of his home made hot sauce made from Carolina Reaper It's so hot missus gets a drop on the handle end of a teaspoon and that's all that's required to make your chilli mince fire breathing dragon hot Before realising how hot they were I chopped one into a crab pasta and needed to strip off whilst eating and drink copious amounts to get it down, hottest chilli crab pasta ever I put the rest in a bottle with a litre of olive oil for home made chilli oil, using sparingly and just topping up the oil as I go along , it'll last for a long time

BTW, is it possible to be addicted to chillies? My missus reckons I am.

[DealorNoDeal]

I grow them from seed, in pots, on a south facing windowsill. I have had most success with a variety called Demon Red, which produces loads of small quite hot chillies.

I use to grow chillies but the UK weather wasn't hot enough to allow them to be hot enough. The only good thing is the local squirrels quickly learnt not to steal them.

I get some fabulously evil chillies from my plants. I am too lazy to start from seed so buy small plants from the South Devon chilli company and they always produce a good crop.

Last summer did produce some extra special habaneros though.

I prefer scotch bonnets.

Which is why, after trying quite a few, I gave up looking.

Now I just buy a kilo of fresh red birds eye chillies off eBay and keep them in the freezer. They're thin enough that they can be sliced, or put in a blender/food processor, from frozen.

As far as fresh chilies go, bird eye are my favourite to use in cooking... Properly hot but a nice flavour. I use them in my chili which is one of the few things I cook and am proud of

Also depends how many chillies you use. There's a reason I order a kilo at a time.

For those who remember the Plaza Cafe in Manchester in the 1970s...

These are getting a decent reputation on the farmer's markets of Brum:

30% peppers. I want nearer 100%, and very little of the other stuff.

Unfortunately, that probably wouldn't work as a bottled sauce.
