event Dutch Chilli Fest 2013 video

In case anyone should be interested, here's some impressions from last years (second) Dutch Chilli Fest.  
The fest was a big success, with an estimated 5000 visitors. A good increase compared to the 3500 visitors the previous year, So it looks like the Chili thing is really taking off here.

Crickets?!?!??  SERIOUSLY???  Brave judges. 
 
Looks like a good time at the festival and a seriously hot haul.  Thanks for sharing.
 
I refused to eat the cricket sambal. Sorry, but that's way out of my comfort zone. No bugs.

However, the guy who made it, snagged most of the prizes/trophees, like the year before. He conjured up some really nice sambals, including a "dry sambal" with shredded coconut and spices. Dee-lish. That guy is really on to something.

On a different note it is somewhat amusing how the cannibis growing community is moving into chillihead territory. Some of the fertilizer manufacturers ond growshops sponsored the fest. They now even advertise their products online with chilli plants. 

(Btw I lived in the wet side of the state, Olympia Wa. for years.)
