Which chilis and where do you buy them?
« on: December 07, 2013, 02:05 PM »
I'm really interested to know which types of chilis you guys use. Are they just the usual green finger chilis, bird's eye, or something special?

Also, can anyone recommend a good mail order source in the UK (one that delivers to Europe).

I use whatever my local shop is selling, they normally have a couple of different types, these can vary in strength enormously. I taste them and try to keep a couple of bags in the freezer. I only use green chillis fresh never red. Where are you located?

I'm in Finland. The local offering is a bit hit and miss (mostly miss), so I rely mostly on bulk purchases from abroad, which I freeze. Seems to work ok, but I'm looking for some chilis with some real flavour  :)
