Last week I received an email from Domino’s asking if I would like a voucher to sample their new Meltdown: The Revenge pizza, I gratefully accepted and waited for it to arrive in the post. More or less as soon as it came through the door I popped down to our local Domino’s to use it, the fun began [...]

This mint and chilli tea was kindly sent to me buy the guys over at Mr Scruff I was quite excited to try it after drinking a rather large amount of the teapigs chilli tea and chilli chai.
The first thing that strikes you about this tea is the packaging, it’s lovely and clean with a [...]

After demolishing Jules & Sharpie’s Hot Mango Chutney I decided it was time to start on another of the jars of joy they sent me, it was time to pop open the Hot Pepper Jelly.

Just like the Hot Mango Chutney it retails at £3.99 for a 340g Jar, When you first open it you are [...]

I first heard about this amazing sounding chutney, when @ginsoak and @the_brew_co we’re talking about it, so I stuck my nose in as it sounded really interesting….next thing I know the very kind ginsoak offered me a jar of her next batch despite the_brew_co’s best attempts to snaffle it for him self.

A couple of days ago i was chatting on twitter about Chilli Beer and also Ginger beer (both of the alcoholic persuasion) I had never seen or heard of a ginger and chilli beer so thought i would do some googling, as it turned out, Breckland Orchards had already made such a think and it [...]

I recently did a quick favour for Stuart from Crown Brewery in Sheffied and in return I ended up with a few of his ales, including something that excited me quite a lot – Ring of fire, a 10.3% Chilli beer. In case you didn’t know I’m also a bit of a beer geek and [...]

I wouldn’t usually buy pre packed chicken but as they were on offer in the supermarket and they had one of my favourite sauces on them i thought i would give them a go.
They came straight out of the packet and went straight into a pre heated oven, i decided to serve when with some [...]

I was a little bit worried when i saw this in the supermarket, because as much as i love chilli, I’m not sure i want to rub it all over myself, despite that i was taken in by the description on the back of the bottle and purchased some for the princely sum of 89p
I’m [...]
