When we first arrived we were amazed at how many stalls there were selling curry sauces, chilli jams, chilli pastes, infused oils, chilli chocolate, local cheese and much more! There were also lots of chilli plants for sale.
Further into the grounds there were stalls selling hot food and drinks. We both started with some cheesy bites from a local cheese stall. Then I had a chicken curry. The curry was beautiful and the meat just melted in your mouth. A bit later Rob had sweet potato fries. He had to wait for a while for them but they were also extremely tastey.
Rob also had a couple of pints of alcoholic gingerbeer, which was certainly needed to cool our mouths down once we started trying some of the products.
We sampled a few chilli products and Rob was determined to find the hottest chilli product. I think he certainly found the hottest chilli sauce in the form of Spicy Monkey!
The sauce made our noses run, eyes water, cough and I could even taste blood! It was insane.
In the end we chose some mini pots of chilli jams from a man who had hundreds of mini pots for sale. We also got a pot of naga chilli peanut butter. The peanut butter is so hot! I have already taken it to work and my colleagues have also been blown away.
The chilli festival was set in some beautiful grounds. Once we had burnt our tongues off we chilled by the river.
We decided not to stay for the chilli eating contest as we were tired after the murder mystery trail the day before. We will definitely be returning to the chilli festival next year. It was fantastic to visit a new place and experience something new.
