The best Mango Chutney & Mixed Pickle I've had...
« on: September 04, 2017, 06:57 AM »
outside the restaurant! A couple of weeks back I found a little haven for the curry lover, right here in Hawkes Bay, NZ. IT's called MP Foods and it's got everything my little heart could desire. Even better than some of the Indian Grocery stores in London. Anyway, I stumbled upon it whilst looking for a decent Mango Chutney. The 3 main supermarkets here only stock this horrible overpowering 'Anglo Indian' Mango Chutney. It tastes more of sultanas than anything else, and reminds me of mince pies.. Not good stuff. Anyway, they say everything happens for a reason, and as a result I found these beauties. They are absolutely awesome! As good as anything I've had in a BIR, and the Mixed Pickle is sensational, I was transported right back to my usual table at the Curry Royal in Wimbledon. Anyway I figured it would be rude not to tell you guys about them. The brand is Mida's, and honestly, I'll not bother making my own as long as I can get my hands on them.

A good job the lid's on, otherwise it would all fall out :)
My preferred mixed pickle is Khanum -- very good indeed, as are their other hot pickles.

What brand is this -Anglo Indian' Mango Chutney- that you avoid.
Never seen Midas products in UK

Sweet Mango Chutney
For decades UK BIR commonly use Pataks 2.9kg jars
or 30kg drums, KTC or Balah brands are popular.

One of my favs is Geetas premium with Kalonji seeds
Too expensive for BIR use ;D ;D

Pataks takes some beating.  Nazirs pretty good too.
