I haven't made your recipe but I absolutely LOVE these wicked little peppers and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this recipe....aaaahhh.....memories...I tried them the first time I went to Galicia and when I went back a couple of years later I made sure I had them every day twice a day...Yummo !!! It is just such a shame that they are so hard to find out of Europe, I live in Australia now and have just bought some seeds, so next Spring I hope to have buckets full ....I cant wait!!!!<br/>For anyone out there who likes a bit of a chilli kick these are for you !!!
