Relish

© Copyright 2012. Do not copy. All rights reserved and enforced.


A Relish generally used to be a pungent, tangy, chunky pickled condiment served in small dishes, of which you placed a bit at the side of your plate to add zip to a meal, especially anything your mother had cooked.

It is both spoonable and spreadable, finely or coarsely chopped, with a bit of liquid in it. It is not a purée -- no matter how finely it is chopped, you can see each piece in it.

It has come to mean a lot more, though. Relishes can be sweet or tangy or both. And probably more Relish is put on hot-dogs and hamburgers than now reaches the side of plates.
