I really looking forward to making this and have bookmarked it. Is there a substitute for birds eye chillies that I could use because I've never seen this chilli.

Hi Sheba - It's not essential to use 'bird's-eye' chillies. The most common sold in the UK are 'anaheim chilli' which are a medium heat. These are ideal, as are 'jalapeños' which I really like when I can get them. Good luck with your dish.

Looks good.

Some of the best chili I ever tasted was at a pub in Wales.

Guy at the bar said, "My wife made it."

"She must have spent some time in the U.S. Southwest."

"No, never been out of the UK.
