Guaranteed to warm your tastebuds! Hand-selected and dried on a Wodderesque roof-top. Fresh from the local mill.
But you have to reserve your baggie!
Available on request at selected meets in Edinburgh, York and London.
Just tell me what meet you will be at.

Had soe of Woddechilli last year when he visited the UK and we had a shipmeet in the Forest of Dean. It's good stuff! Unfortunately, we live much to far south to get to any of those venues, otherwise I'd be saying "yes please!"

One of these days, Pete's pilgrimage to the east would be most welcome, especially bearing chilli from the unfrozen east.....

Alternatively, you could book your chilli baggie, and ask soemone who will be in Edinburgh/York/london to post it to you...

Book your baggies with Pete and I'll collect in Embra and post on.
Of course, you'll need to PM your addresses.

Non-Edinburgh/York/London shippies, do not despair - I will probably be in UK in May so will probably bring some with me - my itinerary will probably include Bristol [and possibly Lydney], Liverpool/Manchester and a bit of Leafy Surrey.

Well, last time we had two bags of really excellent chilli. Not habanero hot by the way, just a nice and tasty heat. I can heartily recommend this stuff. I'd happily get another fix. Problem is, I'm not sure if I can make London. We are probably in the process of hunting for a (or moving) house then...
And while the offer to send the chilli is much appreciated, I already got the last two bags delivered through Marvin. At some point I just feel too guilty about not meeting the generous hotheads involved, and shouting them a drink. So maybe next year. But thanks for the previous sample again!

I'd say it's comparable to cayenne chilli powder heat-wise. Hot, but not terminally so!
And while I agree that it's excellent stuff, I've still got plenty left thanks to Wodders' generosity last year so I won't be requiring a supply this time round ![[Smile]](smile.gif) .

It is vaguely possible that I will be in UK briefly a second time this year in late November and early December so folks that are running short by then might get a top-up.

The chilies are drying nicely on the rooftop as I type and will be shortly ground into God's Own™ powder.
I will be leaving these sunny climes in just about 3 weeks.

Yes, will pick up chilli for Surfing Madness if she doesn't make Edinburgh.
Japes, are you needing a postal packet or are you meeting with Pete along the way? If the former, I'll post on if you send me an address.

Thank you for asking, and for offering to post, but no thank you to chilli. It would be wasted here, and from all accounts that would be a terrible sin.

Mamacita: Although, for you, I would cheerfully post, I am quite unsure whether your postal service would be happy to deliver a package with a customs sticker "Chili powder".
Perhaps you could check your government's website and get back to me?

Pete, from what I'm able to find, it looks like there is plenty of importation of chili powder to the US, so I don't think there will be a problem. I've received different foodstuffs from my Ship Secret Santas over the years, so I think it will be OK.

As mentioned on the English spoken here thread, I tried out the powder for the first time this weekend with a spicy lentil and veg soup. I wasn't sure if I'd overdone it or been too tentative as I wasn't sure how hot it was, but I can report it is very tasty with a pleasant tang and isn't blowing my head off (always good!). Thank you very much Wodders and Pete
