Chillies
We’re a nation that loves adding fiery heat to food – horseradish, mustard and peppers have long been used in classic British cooking, and in the last few centuries, chilli has been woven into the fabric of our cuisine, too. Visit any UK food festival, and you’ll find scores of chilli sauces on offer; in fact, we love it so much that we now have festivals dedicated to them. Check out our round-up of some of the best chilli festivals to visit below, plus tips on growing your own and our spicy jam recipe, right.
