A jewish friend of mine handed me a bag of peppers with a couple of these in recently, apparently grown by one of her relatives. They all seemed to be fairly standard varieties so, between the indian annuum appearance and fruity undertones (which might possibly resemble apple peel), I'm thinking...

Hey folks, I'm writing a piece on chilli species and don't have the images to illustrate it myself. I could, of course, just steal photos from vendors and/or google but that feels immoral. I won't do that. Which leaves the one remaining option of being all "Hey, who wants to show off their...

Been seeing a lot of this phrase going around and just thought it'd be fun to ask the community, what if it were? What, in your opinion, would you do differently if your target audience wasn't human? How would you cater to the different tastes of a canine consumer? Any thoughts?

Just refreshed the Guinness page as I have been doing for months and found that the Carolina Reaper is officially the world record again. Go figure. I guess this means we can rule out Pepper X and Dragon's Breath claiming anything any time soon.   Also interesting to note is the new new new new...

So it's been a while since I've copied a post over from my blog for you guys (sorry) and even longer since I've done it on the day of release but I thought you might like to see this:   Happy thursday folks, we're getting close to christmas and this is a bit later than I'd originally hoped to...

A month ago to the day, UK chilli farm Edible Ornamentals came out with a brand new line they called "Pod Packs" - Simple packs of around ten chillies aimed at growers looking to try before planting. The varieties on offer, however, were a little less usual. You can the specifics here but...

Here's another silly video where I intentionally overhype a nice, medium heat product to scare a newcomer to my channel. Enjoy:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlxuC-loX-s   The only extract in here is unconcentrated and flavourful, not the usual pure heat and chemical sort.

Hey folks, I recently uploaded this to my youtube channel and though you might be interested, what with it being the one Pepper X sauce and all:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7hPjaJJgu4   Now, I talked about it being bitter a few times. That's not extract bitterness. Cold pressed pepper...

Hey all, my recipe's a little early this month due to a couple of UK national food weeks popping up at the same time and making for an opportunity that I just couldn't turn down. Here's the post, copied over from my blog as always:   Hello again everyone, I'm bringing my recipe forward a couple...

One last post about a freebie from Cowley's Fine Foods this week, copied over from my blog as always. Enjoy:   Hello again everyone, today were looking at the last of Cowley's Fine Foods' vegan jerky samples, their Shiiiitake! Thats Hot! Now some people spell the word “shītake” with one “I”...

Sup peoples, have an early halloween post, copied over from my blog:   Hey everyone, it's october. And you know what's special about october? It's the month with halloween in it.   And yes, I know, halloween's still almost a month away but what use is a holiday product review if it goes up on...

Hey guys, here's another, slightly better pod review for you, featuring what's probably the dumbest idea for a chilli world record out there. Few commercial growers will touch this pepper because of its unorthodox appearance but, when I did manage to get my hands on one, that made it perfect to...

It's most of a week late but here's my blog's latest recipe:   I hope you're all enjoying the start of your weekend. I know I am. Why? Because I'm particularly happy with this month's recipe.   It's a common, highly popular, streetfood item, spiced up in my own signature style and, while it was...

Not my best work but and possibly not so fitting in the HOT pepper section but I figured it was time I humanized my online self a bit doing sillier videos with friends. I definitely prefer to be able to think more on what I'm saying for the more serious reviews, though.  ...

It's tuesday so here's another one of my Screaming Chimp sauce reviews, copied over from my blog:   Hello again everyone and welcome back to another tuesday sauce review.   Over these past months, we've looked at most of the Screaming Chimp's sauce range. Some have been hot, some have been mild...

Sorry this one's a little late, everyone, but today I'm copying over from my blog the themed post for one of my favourite yearly holidays. Because it just so happens to fall on a tuesday this year:   Arrr, me hearties, it be talk like a pirate day* and do yer know what that means? It means it's...

A little late but here's this week's review, copied over from my blog:   Happy tuesday again people, it's time for another little shot of Dragon's Blood. But, instead of showing you my free sample jar, here's what you'd get if you actually purchased today's product: A black and golden brown...

Here's a bonus post from my blog. A recipe I quickly threw together to make use of a gorgeous super I'd been handed. As such, it probably could have been tweaked a bit and it definitely would have been better with some kind of seafood but, for this first run, I just wanted to keep the chilli...

Guess what, guys, we've caught up at last! Here's today's post from my blog:   Feel like something fruity, my fellow fiery food fans? It certainly seems like I do lately.   To get my fix, I'm taking a look at another freebie from one of the most heavy fruit users I know. Daddy Cool's. But...

Hey guys, here's the latest recipe from my blog, copied over for your enjoyment:   Hey there heat eaters, it's nearing the end of another month so it's time for another spicy recipe. Recently, these have been part-chinese fusions but I'm taking a break from that today because someone, somewhere...
