Always used to go to a place called Petes Eats in Llanberis.

Greasy spoon generally used by the walkers.

They had a massive plate called the Big Jim with a bucket of tea.

Never managed to polish it off.

It's still there, passed it By as a guy was painting the window frames inside amongst the punters:D
It was packed though - we found the Coffee pot cafe with free parking saving £4 if you eat there ;)

Plus the food was spot on outside tables on a hot day too their homemade food especially the
Lasange was lovely ;)
It's a lovely day out of stay over Llanberis .....
 
It is a yellow habanero, I have been getting a lot of those this summer and I'm making good use of them in salsa's and a spicy colombian chilli sauce called aji.

Do you grow any chilli's yourself?

@Death how are your chilli pepper plants doing?

I have Colombian clients who like to feed me when I visit them.
My love of chillis is too much even for them.
Even my South Asian and African clients can't believe what I'm happy to eat.

I used to have a bottle of Aji sauce which went well with fish, especially Salmon.
It has a nice citrus finish along with the kick.

I use all sorts of fresh chilli peppers from the mild varieties like Jalapeno right up to the hottest available, the Carolina Reaper in my cooking.
I also have a large selection of bottled sauces for adding a bit of kick to foods I don't put fresh chillis into or aren't quite hot enough.
My friends and family know my love of chilli sauces and often bring bottles back from holidays to test me out.
Many have to be handled with care as adding too much heat can ruin a dish.
I like heat but it must have a good depth of flavour for it to be worth eating. Pure heat is not an enjoyable experience.

Unfortunately, I don't grow chillis as I have a tendency to kill whatever I try to grow.

I suppose this post should be in the food thread, where I see you feature a lot but it's in here because I'm replying to you.
Perhaps we could talk more about chillis in there sometime.

Glad you enjoyed. Cracking weather too by the look of things.

Have you done the power station tour?
 
I spotted this spider on it's side on the garden flag stone, so moved it to a bit of leaf litter just at the side of it.. It did get onto it's legs and walk a little distance, but afterwards went back on to it's side. This is a mature male so no moults left for this one. He may just be at end of life, sustained an injury, or could be dehydrated, but hopefully, not on his last legs...

Just noticed the little mite on the spiders leg ? How small must that be?
