Hi all!
I'm a fellow addict from Northern 'UK', which, by the way, is a
wet and miserable little place in the Northern hemisphere, hence the name
'UK', just like it sounds.......
Yes, I have a case of chile (this really your preferred sp.?) addiction,
and although there are those out there who would put me to shame, mine is by
no means a small matter. If you doubt my credentials, you can ask my family,
friends, and co-workers, all of who I disgust on a regular basis (and not
just by eating raw chillies and cheddar cheese).
Well, I haven't read any of the list yet, having just received
subscription confirmation, but looking forward to chatting to you, and
errr.... picking a few brains perhaps......I would like to grow a few
chillies myself one day, which would save me going to the Asian grocery
store and buying a pound or so (of those little green finger chillies they
have) once or twice a fortnight, and getting all those strange looks, that
sorta say "Why'd he buy a whole 1 1/2 LB's of chillies, then only one piece
ginger and 2 bulbs garlic? No masalas at all! No jeera, no mustard seed, no
haldi and no methi! Don't he know you can't make Lamb Passanda like that?"
I s'pose my first question would have to be..........errmmmm........how
darned easy/hard can it be to grow _good_ chillies in a place such as 'UK'?
Uhuh! Well, whatabout without a hot-house? In numbers?
Anyhoo, I won't tell you who told me you were here, but would like to thank
him <cough!>Clyde<cough!> anyway ',;~}
Take care,
Shaun 'it can be hot ooop north of north' with the help of a little spice
