Chilli Sauce Championships

Fancy yourself as the next king or queen of hot sauce? Take your condiment concoctions down to the 10th annual Chilli Sauce Championships in Balham and prepare to do battle for your crown. You’ll be going up against all the winners from past years’ competitions, with more than 40 sauces in the running. The public decide the victors in this contest, so even if you don’t know where to begin with cooking, you can still take part – and what’s better than sampling sauces with influences from across the world? Spice shirkers don’t need to skip this event, either – entries are placed in four categories from mild to nuclear, so you can have your say on those that suit your tastebuds. Look out for the yoghurt station that will be on hand to help your tongue cool off if the heat gets a bit too much.
