All tea ideas for tonight were ditched in favour of a mini cheese plate! Bath Soft Cheese (which i bought today), Shropshire Blue, Cooleeney and Aleppo Chilli Cheddar served with some homemade pickles (red cabbage, cucumber slices and picalilli)...quite a treat! Of particular note was the Shropshire Blue and pickled red cabbage combo.


I was given this by a friend at work today; very exciting, especially considering how many chilli seeds you can see in it! Recommended uses are in stir-frys, pasta and cheese sandwiches! Perhaps a bit of this with the Aleppo Chilli Cheddar in a sandwich?!

Got a few more bits for the kitchen today...very excited to try the popcorns! Caramel with either salt, chili or chocolate? Cor! Unforunately, i found the Wheaten Mill chocolate crunch very disappointing- heading towards 'soggy' and a bit too greasy without packing much punch in terms of flavour...not what i've come to expect from The Wheaten Mill. However, the Peri-Peri sauce from The Chilli Company was everything that i was hoping and wanting! I've had their Smoky Chipotle Sauce before which is delicious and carries quite a bit of heat; the Peri-Peri sauce was not disimilar! Will definitely have to get their chilli mayo in the near future.
