[Closed] Lime Pickle.

Oh and it gives me the shits.
But I just can't stop eating it. 😕

Is it the devil's pickle? If so, I love him. The curry house in Peebles has the best lime pickle I have ever tasted.

Brinjal pickle is even better. Salty, sweet, meaty (but veggie). Needs really strong cheddar though.

Aubergine pickle is better.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Big, big fan. It's not so great in flapjacks though.

Pataks garlic pickle.
I just eat it out of the jar.

Polish off all the lime pickle with your poopadoms and sit there with your mouth on fire then THEN the Cobra arrives.
Aaaaah sweet relief. One of life’s simplest pleasures.

****ing Pataks.
You need the real deal from your local curry house to take the skin off the roof of your mouth for the win. 😉

Nah, brinjal every time.
Or even aubergine, sometimes.

Aubergine pickle is surprisingly good.........

......... given that I hate aubergine.

What zippykona said.

Had some Aubergine cooked up with brown sugar and balsamic glaze a couple of weeks ago in spain and nice as it was it wasn't
Salty, limey, pickely, take your head offy and leave your mouth with no skinny.
This discussion is about lime pickle so all you pussy Aubergine pickle eating lightweights can go and powder your noses in another thread. 😉

Top tip...why not try some,

I had some of this & it blew my gob off, I ended up taking it to work & giving it to some Asian guys who cooked stuff on a weekend. Even they said it was a bit on the warm side.

**** Pataks.

I used to like it but now can't stand it for some reason. OH makes his own, it's ****ing ridiculous.

All pickle is good.

I used to work in Bradford, just up the road from the Biggest Ethnic Superstore in Yorkshire (Manchester Superstore).

Mainly aimed at wholesale for restaurants, they sold huge tins of pickles for bargain prices - they would last for ages, yum yum!

It's not so great in flapjacks though

(I'm missing a joke, right - brinjal pickle [u]is[/u] aubergines, innit ?)

If you can set your mouth on fire with lime pickle one of three things is true...

1) the lime pickle round here has been watered down. If so I am outraged.

2) you lot need to toughen up a bit / eat more chilli's

3) my predilection for chilli based stuff has knackered my taste buds and pallette.

My friend's scotch bonnet puree however - you may have some milk and soft loo roll.

Edit @egf am intrigued by chilli pickle

To answer the Q. Yes IMO Patak's Mixed Pickle is all those things and more. As much as I love lime pickle.

But I still prefer

Better still, all three served in little pots with a boatful of popadums, paratha and raita

If you can set your mouth on fire with lime pickle one of two things is true...

You’re all mad.
There’s hardly anything I won’t eat. Lime pickle is pretty much top of that list.

I've never seen that chilli pickle anywhere. Looks a bit like the "Very Lazy" jar of garlic I've got in the fridge.

Lime pickle is also awesome with cheese

Lime pickle is awesome.
That Patak's Chilli pickle is also awesome.

But ace as both are, they are both JUST shaded by eating piccalilli straight from the jar with a spoon.

See the way Pataks chilli pickle has a '3' chilli hotness, the Geeta's I had was a 4. (sure it had a green label though)

All I've got left are these. 1 full garlic, 1 1/4 full garlic & a smidging of chilli. I need some more chilli & a mixed.

Lime pickle flapjacks! Of course, why not? Salty, fiery and sweet. I'm going to make those!

Well, esselgruntfuttock, your musical taste may be middle of the road, but your extreme pickle devouring can only be admired 😀

It’s lovey stuff I’ve a recipe that I must make one day.

[quote=TiRed ]Lime pickle flapjacks! Of course, why not? Salty, fiery and sweet. I'm going to make those!

It was many years ago that I did and they made 2 of us quite ill for an exam, hope yours go better!

I'd stick to, 'It's all a matter of taste', & at 61, my musical taste is very very varied also.

I ****ing HATE cucumber though. 😐

Garlic pickle is great. Mixed pickle is as bad as a crust topped stew calling itself a pie (almost).

YOU ARE ALL DAMN WRONG! HOMEMADE FRUIT CITARE OR MANGO FOR THE WIN.

CAPS TO EMPHASISE HOW MUCH IN ERROR YOU ALL ARE! HOWEVER, ALL PICKLE IS BETTER THAN THE VILE, FILTHY MUCK THAT IS MANGO CHUTNEY.

Lime pickle is amazing, fact.

The Pataks one is nice in a 'this can't be good for me' way. The was a local independant trader in Preston called the Hungry Dodo who did an awesome lime pickle that tasted really fresh. I think she moved to Luton, if you ever see her at a market try her food, it's great Mauritian cuisine.

it's great Mauritian cuisine.

That is the best Asian cuisine IMHO. Biased though, I’m part Mauritian! No ones pickles can compare to my late grandmothers though!

Lime pickle is the dogs.
Took me a little while to get used to it though. 😳

Geetas Lime and chilli chutney (hot) is the Aldi frangipane mince pie of the Indian condiment world. Try with everything, it’s lush

That is the best Asian cuisine IMHO. Biased though, I’m part Mauritian

I'm inclined to agree, but then my dad is Mauritian. The vegetable achar was the nicest pickle I've ever had, but I am partial to lime pickle or aubergine pickle too.

Now a good green chillie pickle or even a chillie and mango one preferably homemade .

Reminds me of one of my dad's funny stories. He's very much a people person and could start a conversation in an empty room. He was in the local restaurant and complimented the waiter on a really excellent lime pickle.

That's the best lime pickle I've ever tasted. Does the chef make it fresh? What's his secret?

Injah (and slightly confused)

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Injah. It comes injah.

Truly fantastic stuff, whatever way it comes.

Anila's pickles. Try them. I also eat the lime pickle out of the jar, particularly after a hard ride when I'm craving salty and oily
