Its quite nice, not as hot as the pepper sauce but tastes very nice.
Ive got a couple of red chilli's in the kitchen, is it really as simple as planting some of the seeds from one of them?
You've probably missed the boat for this year for going from seed, my chilli seeds were planted in March and tend to take 6-8 weeks just to get to 3-4" high, they will imminently go into the greenhouse (approx 70 plants) in large containers (peat based compost mixed with garden soil and some sand). The chilli peppers themselves will come after flowering in about August or so and then ripen to red through August/September (if a decent summer). This is the normal Cayenne variety which I have found the best as they are quite prolific, quite cheap (£1.50 or so for 70 seeds) and the chilli peppers themselves can be anything up to 8-12" long. Once I have picked the lot I tend to dry 3/4 of them in a low oven and store in jars (easily last a year until the next crop) and pickle the other 1/4.

Try and find some chilli plants, problem is it works out quite expensive, but put them in a greenhouse/conservatory/sunny windowsill - putting them outside won't be overly productive unless you are in a very sheltered, sunny, warm part of the country.
Definitely one of the most worthwhile things to grow IMO - I probably harvested 500 chilli's or more last year from a £1.50 packet of seeds, bought from a shop that would have cost a lot!
