Together with my good lady wife, I went along to the Scottish Chilli Festival held in the grounds of Scone Palace, Perth last Sunday.

I've only really been to one Chilli Festival before, and that was a few years ago at West Dean Gardens near Chichester. It was really good and we enjoyed it immensely.

Poor showing really, but I think there was also chilli action in Brighton and Birmimgham last weekend.

Their curry pastes come highly recommended too but havent tried any, dont really fancy them tbh.

Aye, I tried all the hot ones. TBH, I can remember the King Naga and perhaps the Reaper at Mr Vikkis (although that might have been on another stall), and I didn't think they were all that hot. There was nothing on display that I would have second thoughts about sticking on my Sunday sausage.
