Jars of pickles

[Ric.ror]

I have just bought three jars of pickles - lime, garlic and chilli
They are horrible
I don't want to throw them away so can anyone make a suggestion of what to do
I thought maybe adding a spoonful or two when I make a curry

[woofgang]

It depends why you think they are horrible....might they make your curry taste horrible?

[Mamyalynne]

Proper Lime pickle is an acquired taste, I happen to adore it.

Hope you get some ideas.

[EcclesCake]

Have you had lime, garlic and chilli pickles before?

Eating them as part of an Indian meal with raita and other chutneys mike make a difference to your perception of them.

[EcclesCake]

^^^ Have no idea how might became mike!

[Ric.ror]

When I go out for a curry I love the pickle tray with popadoms
But these are not nice
Might be because they were too strong not too spicy just too strong

[plautus]

They are horrible! So I'll add a spoonful or two to my next meal!

Er...

[woofgang]

indeed plautus, glad its not just me!

Bin 'em

[EcclesCake]

Try taking a spoonful and chopping it up quite fine and adding to an equal amount of yogurt. The yogurt will temper the spiciness and may make them a little more palatable.

[Ric.ror]

Oh ok they can go in the bin
Let that be a lesson to you all
If your going to have a Diwali festival don't go to morrisons

"If your going to have a Diwali festival don't go to morrisons"

Discuss your answer on no more that 4 sides of A4.

[woofgang]

where to start plautus, where to start.......

[Ric.ror]

Must be a private thing cause I don't get it

[boxtops]

I would buy just that if I were having a Diwali festival - lovely in small quantities, with poppadums.

[woofgang]

sorry Ric.ror, it just caught my sense of humour....no offence intended.

[Iluvspikey]

perhaps they are too new and need to mellow out a bit.

[tamborine]

dont chuck em yet, they'll keep in the jars.

Add lime over chicken sandwich, garlic over cheese, chilli with salad sandwich.

[Ric.ror]

Right I'm not going to throw them I am going to experiment with them
I don't like chicken so I shall substitute pork loin
Any other suggestions welcome
