Congratulations to Tristan Peters and Ming Ming who got married during July. Mike A. StonC/ the New York-born Executive Chef ot Yvey's Restaurant laid on a fabulous Asian spread in their honour, and the event proved a great chance to try out the lovely new terraced areas outside Yvey's. This little restaurant tucked around the back of the main Castmates building is now a delightful place for al fresco dining. Slop by and have a look at the new extended menu with lots more promised for the future.

IChillies: fHi liiaiani

The ehWf, a variety of Caps!cum, is a native ofMexico where people started using a wild vari ety as long as 9,000 years ago. Columbus brought seeds back to Europe in 1493, and from there infiltrated most cuisines of the world.

The pre-Hispanic Americans believed the chilli to contain me dicinal qualities andmodern sci ence has confirmed the nutri tional values. Chillies contain high levels of vitamins A and C, along with vitamins Eand B1-3. There are hundreds ofvarieties of chillies, varying in hotness, size and shape, and ranging in colours from orange and red to yellow and green.

Chillies evolved their hot taste to discourage mammals from eat ing the pods and destroying the seeds, while birds who are good distributors of seeds are more tolerantto thepepperytaste. The chemicalCapsaicingives chillies their hot taste by stimulating ar eas ofthe skin and tongue which normally sense heat and pain. This fools the brain into thinking they are burning.

As a rule red fresh fruit are twice as hot as green, and dried pods are up to ten times hotter than fresh pods. Small fruit are also generally hotter than larger.

The seeds and pith of a chilli are the fieriest part, so remove them if you doni want your dish to be too hot.

You can easily grow chillies simply by planting some seeds from a shop bought chilli pod.

MaIwaIa

restAurAtit &tAkc-AWAM arina worked at the Three Roses for 4 years when the landlord was Dermot (he's still in Gibraltar) and took over from him in January of this year.'1 was thinking about taking on my own bar, after 25 years'experience, when the one I was working in came free — perfect!' she told me.

Marina comes from Scotland, Loch Lomond to be precise, but that's not why the bar is known as the Scottish embassy. Mind you, Marina couldn't remember either. 'I don't know,'she laughed when 1 asked her,'it's just always been full of Scots, but the embassy thing started as a bit of a joke, I think'.

You don't have to be Scottish to use this cosy, comfy pub in Gover nor's Street next door to Hammonds the ironmongers. Eve ryone is made welcome by the staff and customers alike, and Marina told me that's it's more of a multi national sports bar and centre of the local Celtic Supporters' Club. 'We get our best nights when there's Scotland versus England on the television,'she told me;'it's bril liant, the place is packed with fans from both countries and the atmos phere is fantastic - all friendly but loads of banter going back and for ward.'

There are in fact three televisions; two in the bar and another in the pool room, where there is also a darts board and, very rare if not unique in Gibraltar, a jukebox. Sports always gets priority on the television.

It seems that at one time the bar was The Two Roses, one rose for England and the other rose for Wales, but a point came when the third rose, representing Scotland, was added, although it is not clear when or why.This is according to a long-standing (and often leaning) regular customer who has been studying the gentle art of drinking there for at least 23 years.
