Piccalilli

Piccalilli (pronunciation: /ˌpɪkəˈlɪli/) is a type of relish that is commonly used in British cuisine. It is made from a variety of vegetables, including cauliflower, onion, and gherkin, which are pickled in a sauce made from vinegar, mustard, and turmeric. The result is a tangy and spicy condiment that is often served with cold meats and cheese.

Etymology

The term "piccalilli" is believed to have originated in the mid-18th century, although its exact origins are unclear. Some sources suggest that it may be derived from the Indian word "pachranga", which refers to a type of pickled food. Others believe that it may be a corruption of the French term "picalilli", which was used to describe a type of relish made from pickled vegetables.
