How does one pronounce Achaar? And what is it?

Pickles..mmmm

Pickled eggs from the pub in your packet o' crisps. Or pickled eggs from the chippie...smiley - drool

Ever read James Herriot - the part where he has to suffer eating piccallilly (I have no idea how it's spelt and opted for innovative!) in this dear old ladies house?

Wasn't the problem the fatty ham, rather than the picallili/picallily (I'm sure either spelling is acceptable)?

Don't fancy pickled eggs in a pub, though. Surely they don't go with beer?

Oh....and Achaar is pronounced Achaaaaaaah and generally refers to any kind of spicy pickle. Think 'lime pickle'. Nice stirred into a curry too.

Have you read my entry re. pickles? currently in peer review: A297840

For really great Indian recipes, google Manta's Kitchen. She's an e-pal of mine. I must get around to getting my own recipe site back up: Flaming Pie: Vegetarian Recipes with Attitude. The site that elevates tofu to a foodstuff.
