Dear Customer,

Move over swicy (sweet & spicy – we’re looking at you, hot honey) and swalty (sweet & salty), there are new flavour trends set to dominate plates this year. We want to know which of these creative combos you crave...

Fricy

(fruity & spicy)

Sweet chilli sauce enthusiast? ‘Fricy’ is the flavour profile for you. These pork and pineapple skewers bring together spicy pepper and the natural sweetness of fruit.
