Hi Dave:
I live in England and have tried growing chiles for the first time. I managed to get some habaneros a couple of years ago from one of our large supermarket chains and pickled them with good results, but I have been unable to find a source of chiles since, hence trying to grow my own. Do you know of any suppliers that aren’t crippled with huge delivery charges to the U.K.?
Regards,
Darren Faulke

Hello Darren:
If I were you I would call a wholesale produce distributor and ask them about peppers from The Netherlands. They grow some varieties of hot chillis in greehouses there and since we get them here, I would imagine that they are also imported into the U.K. I would imagine that you can find dried chillis imported from Mexico, but I don’t know anyone who exports fresh chillis to the U.K.
