Seriously do you not use chillis at all?
It doesn't have to be like that!!! I make chilli, quince and fig jelly- its really nice. Not hot. Even put chillis in cauliflower soup, just tiny bit. Adds flavour not heat.  :D :D :D

No, I really don't like them, even the mildest ones set my mouth on fire. All the rest of my family love them though, which is why I grow them. I've got loads in the freezer and my husband eats them every day with everything.  Except his porridge.  ;)

My brother doesn't like chillies either -or sweet peppers. There seems to be something in them that upsets his stomach. I always need to remind myself to miss them out when he's visiting! We eat them lots.

How does that work then, does he just add a chilli to his portion of the meal :)

Yes, he takes a few from the freezer and chops them up on his plate, they seem to defrost instantly.  He even eats them with salad!

I have tried One of these chili sauces that this man has tested at the Chilli Festival! Now I love chillies but the sauce I tried nearly killed me. The only thing that calmed the heat was a Mister Whippy type ice cream that luckily for me was being sold nearby. I wouldn't recommend it and since last year taste tests of these extreme chillies and sauces at the chilli festival has been banned!!! :o.
I still eat and grow them :)

I quite like a bit of chilli pepper in things occassionally, but hate sweet peppers.

I quite like them in cauliflower cheese, you can cut right down on the cheese and not notice.

Chilli in porridge, now that is a good thought.  Perhaps it would make porridge edible.
