The Pickle

Sweet or spicy bitter or salty, the pickle is usually a hot favorite. It may be of mango, plum, lemon, aubergine or cauliflower or it may have radish, gooseberry or ginger. It may be chunky or it may have tiny slices. Sometimes you find there are large pieces. It flatters you taste buds, adds a zing to your meal and makes anything insipid come back to life! It reminds you of life’s myriad vagaries and struggles to be on the table along with other culinary varieties. The pickle is a good way to preserve through the year all your favorite fruits and veggies so you can have them any day. The pickle may be mixed or it may be solo. Have it any way you want and nothing can beat it hollow. 04 June 2010 12 noon
