Massimo, who lives across the road and whose shop (Massimos) is down on the beach, makes the best icecream though. Mmmm, cinnamon, pistachio, lychee, white chocolate, meringue and amaretto...and so on.....arrgglllllll.

You're quite an epicurian Marc. Massimo's gelati look pretty imaginative, he must love gawking at his bewildered clients' faces.
Chocolate and chili are truly a classic pair. There are quite a few chocolatiers around here who concoct fabulous mixes of the two. And what about the traditional chocolate chicken pot.
We have a beer festival around here also, last time I had a chili beer, it had a two inch chili pepper at the bottom of the bottle. Useless to say that I chose that one to be the last taste test of the day.
