Look at this bad boy!
It is Dorset - it was grown in Dorset from a seed saved from what must have been a naga bought at an ethnic supermarket on the south coast by Michael Michaud. If you ever watched any of the River Cottage stuff, he was Hugh's beardy american mate.
Well done Dorset. Yeah I remember the chap you are on about. I'll have to try and get my hands on a few of those. There's a thing, these Dorset chillies have been exported back to India, so it's like taking coal to Newcastle as they say.
