West Dean Chilli Fiesta

I spent yesterday with my friends The Maguires at the West Dean Chilli Fiesta (North of Chichester by Goodwood). It's a wonderful event dedicated to chilli peppers (growing them, cooking with them, art inspired by them, mariachi bands etc) all set in the lovely West Dean gardens.

The stalls of food were fantastic, chilli cakes, chilli beer/cider, chilli chocolate, chilli cheese, chilli plants, chilli t-shirts... the list could go on forever. Despite some ominous looking weather the crowds thronged and everyone had a lovely time.

I decided to take a few snappy-snaps of the days for your enjoyment.
