Nah, used to refuse to eat them at school dinners. Our neighbour was one of the dinner ladies and the nasty thing told my mum. But I still wouldn't touch them.

It's quite true that Muslims would have to fast until midnight during the summer months if they lived in Scandinavia or even Scotland. A special time is set for them after which they can have Iftar.
In Abidjan, the temperature is often 40 degrees, and the poor souls can't drink a drop all day long, even when working. Terribly difficult and some people collapse in the street. Very bad for their kidneys.

Those Habaneros (Scotch Bonnets) are fearfully hot and fiery. When he's cooking, the cats and I cough and our eyes stream, so we evacuate the kitchen. They're sold on Norwich market, but cost £1 for four. And it's rather far for us to travel, so we're having a go in the greenhouse with growing some. My niece has had some success with them and she suggested it.

My neighbour has now got her garden covered in red, white and blue. She's out there at the moment making the final adjustments. I said it looks lovely, but I certainly wouldn't bother doing ours. Anyway, she's got our bunting, so that puts paid to that!
