Get Stuffed


In an almost certainly hopeless attempt to overcome the sweaty shakes and general nausea that is the result of a 4 dayer with The Intrepid Explorer and assorted other friends from Caerdydd and Lestah, I am starting on the stuffing of some of the Combo chilli peppers this being a sort of regional speciality. They are fiery little buggers so in the cleaning process, using the tool in the pic which is essentially a 'corer', I have to wear rubber gloves. Always a bonus. Once they have been cleaned I boil them briefly in vinegar and cheap white wine and when they have dried out I stuff them with anchovies and capers and jar them under olive oil. They will be consumed at Christmas, presuming I am still of this world.

Nice one Ron. Given my forthcoming fact-finding mission you'd better hide them away. I seem to remember my Travelling Companion and I making short work of your last batch.

Talking of regional food, my son-in-law helped me screw my Cadbury's Cocoa (Absolutely Pure Therefore Best) enamel sign to the kitchen wall last night.
