UK National Chilli Awards 2015 Results

Thursday, September 24th, 2015

ffukLast weekend 19/20 September saw the return of the Fiery Foods UK show in Brighton after a years break and change of ownership, it also saw the return of the National Chilli Awards.

We like to enter competitions, as it is more rewarding than paying for advertising should you gain a place, and fortunately this year we did, well as you can see below.

There were 14 categories, 10 of which we entered, and we placed in 9 of them. 2 further categories, Best grower and Best retailer were voted by all entrants to the competition and the 6 judges.

“A total of 19 producers and over 50 products were entered this year” said Karl Muzio (Fiery Foods UK’s new owner).

The products which won I will update as I find out from the relevant companies.

BEST JAM – THE CHILLEES and runner up was EVERYTHING CHILLI

BEST PICKLE/MUSTARD – RIVER PLATE LIMITED and runner up was MR VIKKIS

BEST DRINK/SYRUP/CORDIAL – GRIM REAPER (Pestilence) and runner up was FALLEN ANGEL

BEST CHOCOLATE/CONFECTIONERY – GRIM REAPER (Black Widow) and runner up was EVERYTHING CHILLI

BEST EXTREME SAUCE – GRIM REAPER (Evil One) and the runner up was BURNING DESIRE (Five Finger Death Punch)

The vote for BEST GROWER went to EDIBLE ORNAMENTALS who go the majority of our chillies actually, so that great to hear! (I voted them anyway..)

Halloween sauce launch

Sunday, October 27th, 2013

Well, this week is the busiest time of the year from the Reaper…so many souls to burn. And to celebrate our 3rd birthday of Grim Reaper Foods on Thursday, we are doing 3 special things! One, our trick or treat Maverick sauces, available now on the site here . We’re also taking over Mr and Mrs Youngs restaurant for a 9 course chilli feast for 28 pre booked customers AND the launch of our newest, hottest sauce. The restaurant folk will of course try the sauce during the courses of the evening how I intend its use, but I’m sure most of you will find other, far far different uses…

The Evil One, our first sauce, has been the hottest sauce we have done since 2010 when born into this world, where it won the FFUK National Chilli Awards, and I’m please to say it has just won a 2014 Silver Scovie medal, which I will post here once received, so what better way to say thanks to its little brother, to unleash its big brother… Keeping the name a secret for now, it will be on the site from Halloween, I’ve auto set it up, and for Halloween only, 20% off the price for that 24 hours. Just 4 of your English pounds…The link below WILL NOT WORK until Halloween…Three people will get these this week, Hayley, Zach and Paul. 3 years, 3 freebies.

New Sauce

Off to do some burning people….tweet and share all you like please.
