Which accompaniments?
« on: March 01, 2008, 08:31 PM »
Ok, what do we all like to eat with our favourite curry?
I feel lost without Pataks Brinjal pickle with every curry.
I also like a good chilli or chilli and lime pickle with a mild one or Geeta's onion chutney with a hot one.
The wife likes mango chutney with everthing (little does she know I have been upgrading from mild to quite hot ones  ::) )
She also likes a yogurt and cucumber Riata with everthing.
Chopped coriander is mandatory of course.
What do you curryholics like and has anyone made their own pickles/chutneys?

I'm right next door to Dewsbury so it very well could be, Jethro ;) but then I've always thought your personal curry-taste is dependent on which town you're from :)

Which part of Dewsbury is your wife from?

That's only 5-6 miles from us Jethro :) We're near Whitley, which is a local place for local people LOL :P We've lived here for almost 9 years but we're still known as "them newcomers" ::) ;D Do you still visit up here and if you do, which curry house(s) do you frequent?

back to sides/accompaniments....I just can't like lime pickle ::) I've tried all different kinds but I can't get any of them down :-X

Good grief you northern heathen. Lime pickle is my absolute can't do without accompaniment. I have to say though, when I first tasted lime pickle I just couldn't believe how anyone could stomach it, but somewhere along the line I just acquired a taste for it. So much so that I used to polish off a full catering jar of patak lime pickle about every two weeks. I saw a program ( or maybe read about it) that had these bevvied up scoundrels betting each other that they couldn't eat a full small jar of patak lime pickle in one go. I just thought what's the big deal, that's one portion for me!  :)

I can't stand the stuff either, it is an acquired taste but not one I'm to fussed about acquiring  :P      I wonder I how people can pile the stuff on their plates but then they probably think the same about me with a raw onion diced up on the side of my curry  8)

Lime pickle tastes like peppery earwax to me.....just don't ask me how I came to try peppery earwax, it's a secret :-X :-[
