<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Chilli Sauces - with a variety of Heats. A mild to medium one, a hot one and then a unbelievably hot oh my god it burns one.</li>
<li>Chilli chutneys - a take on a salsa one, using all the ingredient you'd find in a salsa, in the chutney. Other flavours are being looked in to</li>
<li>Chilli Relish - you don't see many of these around nowadays. I'll probably start with a Chilli Burger Relish, then maybe a Chilli Sweetcorn Relish as well.</li>
<li>Chilli Dressing - probably a mild chilli, roasted garlic & chive dressing I think. I won't be concentrating too much on the dressing front.</li>
<li>Other ideas - well I'm thing Chilli & Chocolate Chip Shortbread Biscuits, Chilli Desserts (if I start doing chilled items - could be too much of a pain), and a Chilli Gift Basket (the idea with that one is still being thought up of. I could do one with all the produce, or I could make up special items just for them).</li>
</ul><div>The biggest thing at the moment is how I price myself. Most times I see hot chilli sauce around in shops its expensive (not supermarkets - their hot sauces are pathetic) - around £5-£6 a bottle. I could see probably being able to do £3.50-£4.00 a bottle, then around the same for a jar of relish/chutney. Bottles and Jars I can probably get quite cheap, labels hopefully the same...its all beginning to take shape!</div>The Scotch Devilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12693600749157469501noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1464770710038211802.post-87506722253278986732011-12-28T03:47:00.000-08:002011-12-28T03:47:42.765-08:00el escocés diablo is coming...Just started a blog to try and get a bit of awareness going on about "el escocés diablo", or in English "The Scotch Devil". I've been a chef for about 10 years now, and my main passion out of all the thing I love and cook is chillies. So after thinking about it, I've decided to start looking into doing my own brand of chilli sauces, relishes, chutnies and marinades. I won't be out there for a while, but I intend to in the next few months trying out a few recipes, some creative inventions, and maybe just possibly on my days off, going to local markets and trying to sell my demonic wares.<br />
