Mmmmmm, line pickle makes a good poppadom great!

sure does meggeth - if you've not tasted Patak's brinjal pickle yet I'd recommend you give it a try - it is delicious!

that looks fantastic Stephen, and it reminds me of my favourite restaurant in Cambridge, which I've already written a recommendation in this forum, hence no repeating the name again for fear someone might think I'm associated with them. Every time I've been there, the starters was like this tantric and pleasureful ritual which wouldn't end before a second round of more of the same. Their chutneys/pickles were simply nothing short of amazing! Looking at your tea, it's made me hungry now, grr! :-)

Cant beat poppadoms and a good pickle tray.  My favourite selection at the moment consists of; yogurt mint sauce (KD 1, with fresh coriander), red onion (c2go), papaya and lime chutney (simtom), ginger pickle (swadist) or ginger mango chutney (shan), chilli sauce (linghams) or scotch bonnet jelly (franks).  The last one is not very bir I suppose, but I like it.  Will give the brinjal a go Stephen.
