Conflict is a part of life. It’s always been that way. And, you can more or less chalk it all up to economics… or religion. But, let’s not get into that.

In the States, it’s completely obvious that chili peppers are growing in popularity. They’re everywhere in one form or another. They’re in spicy sandwiches and cropping up as sauce offerings on the side. Hotter wings are on the menu. Even Wendy’s is offering hot as hell fries. Like we said – obvious. We’re not the only country adopting the hot food trend. Across the Atlantic, British restaurants are picking up on the trend. They’re even making it easier to indulge at home.
