It's good as a marinade as well.

I love the sweetness of scotch bonnets. People think chillies are just about the heat, which is bollocks, each variety has its own flavour.

Correct.
Morrisons seem to have upped their chilli game of late. I've got a madras recipe that calls for long red chilli's and I was struggling to get them for a while (even out of spice shops), you can totally tell the difference to, say, finger chilli's.

I shall investigate. Problem is Morrisons don't have many stores in London.

I'm sure there's a wealth of places that sell fancy chilli's in that london though.

At a ridiculously high price in many cases.

You can get them cheap online if you're the sort of person who knows what they're going to be eating a couple of days in advance.
Sadly, I am not.

My neighbour gave me a load of peach habeneros, which while spicy, had the most delicious sweet flavour to them
A chilli sans carne made with them had a distinctly different taste.

Not had that variety. Will investigate.
