Regular readers will remember chilli-growing sagas from the past: how Stephen grew chillies (from Mummy, Daddy and Runty plants) and we ate their chillies with gusto! In his recent gardening ventures, he has mainly concentrated on growing tomatoes (hence the plethora of chutneys being made using tomatoes for various Christmas markets, this one being tomato & courgette chutney):
However, he has also grown some chillies and since the service tonight had a harvest theme, part of the challenges was for team members to eat these without visible reactions. (Stephen’s own reactions were quite extreme when he ate them: they are pretty hot! To be clear, however, he did eat a whole chilli: we only had to eat a slice of one!)
Here are some photos of our stoical expressions…
