Ended up sticking 2 tablespoons of it in a bowl with some lemon juice, garlic, corriander and chicken. Will be cooking it later along with some couscous. Only had couscous once before in Marrakech and it tasted of nothing to me so heres hoping its nicer this time round
One of my favourite treatments for couscous is to mix in some toasted pine nuts, chopped sultanas (the big golden ones), a waft of cinnamon and a large tablespoon (or more) of melted butter.This is tasty enough to eat on its own, but a bit of harissa (Le Phare du Cap Bon of course) gives it an extra 'zing'.
NB: You can substitute the sultanas for finely chopped apricots, dates, or any sweet dried fruit. Likewise the pine nuts for pistachios or almonds.

My thread has arrived!
I strongly recommend Blairs Mega Death. I consumed at least half a dozen bottles of Insanity sauce, and it's really good but I'm now on my 3rd bottle of Megadeath.. it's simply streets ahead
It will win you loads of bets at BBQ's too because there is always someone than brags about how they enjoy the hottest sauce on the planet.. let them prove it. Hours of entertainment from a tiny bottle.

Had a tiny taste, first impressions are.... quite flavoursome actually. Impressed, despite the silly name.

This thread inspired me to pick up a baby Scotch Bonnet from the garden centre.
Anyone got any care advice or is it the normal wack it in the greenhouse and keep it wet?
I've done Apaches before under glass and it needed supporting because there were so many chillies!
Some advice from further back in the thread, might be useful (even though yours is past the seed stage):Anyone got any care advice or is it the normal wack it in the greenhouse and keep it wet?

You've probably missed the boat for this year for going from seed, my chilli seeds were planted in March and tend to take 6-8 weeks just to get to 3-4" high, they will imminently go into the greenhouse (approx 70 plants) in large containers (peat based compost mixed with garden soil and some sand). The chilli peppers themselves will come after flowering in about August or so and then ripen to red through August/September (if a decent summer). This is the normal Cayenne variety which I have found the best as they are quite prolific, quite cheap (£1.50 or so for 70 seeds) and the chilli peppers themselves can be anything up to 8-12" long. Once I have picked the lot I tend to dry 3/4 of them in a low oven and store in jars (easily last a year until the next crop) and pickle the other 1/4.
Try and find some chilli plants, problem is it works out quite expensive, but put them in a greenhouse/conservatory/sunny windowsill - putting them outside won't be overly productive unless you are in a very sheltered, sunny, warm part of the country.
Definitely one of the most worthwhile things to grow IMO - I probably harvested 500 chilli's or more last year from a £1.50 packet of seeds, bought from a shop that would have cost a lot!

New one:
Really impressed. Only a mild kick but great flavour with a real lime punch. Nice with chicken or turkey.
Only 99p too! Got it from Tescos, but in the ethnic section rather than the normal spot with the other sauces. Bargain!
Agreed!! Though it is cheaper in Tescos Really impressed. Only a mild kick but great flavour with a real lime punch. Nice with chicken or turkey.

That is a lot! ^^
I did a BBQ for my work team last weekend, popped home at lunch and put some spiced lamb shoulders on a low heat ready to blitz and crisp on the BBQ later. The plan was to do some hot sauce kebabs with the lamb and some flat bread, with a nice selection of hot pepper sauces from this thread.
It went down a storm! Of course everyone went for the Dave's first.... BIG mistake! They were drinking more milk than beer A couple of the Indian chaps had seconds, but one of my colleagues (from Egypt) poured it on like ketchup and did not even break a sweat 
RESPECT!
