Hello. How are you? Good, good. Life going good for you, anything happening? Oh, really? Well, they do come in all different colours nowadays, don’t they? But enough of that.

Or perhaps an odd mixture like beef and Marmite or jelly and cheese? Let me try and guess what you just though of… I know the answer, your favourite taste sensation in the whole world is:

Spice! My favourite taste is spice! How did you know that?

– You

Yes, that’s my favourite taste too, and that is why today’s entry into the blog is about spice and the Chilli Fiesta in Devon.Read More »
