I generally love to eat any pickle. It adds taste to the food and the food goes into your mouth fast with pickle. It gives new taste to the food. My favourite pickle is mango pieces pickle, then lemon pickle. Mmmm yummy it is. Do you like to eat pickle? How do you eat, with breakfast item or food? What is your favourite pickle?

If your dad is going to insist on bland food then I understand how you would need pickle to push it down.Perhaps you can make Coriander , pudina chutney instead of the deadly red chilly pickle.

Yes Kala, even in summers. I cant seem to get that vegetable down my gullet without mixing it up with pickles. And then - I have the same problem with dals. :( They taste so bland! :( To top it all, dad doesnt allow any salt in them. So I need more of these pickles. :( I will cut down some from this July. I am just plain lucky that I dont have any blood pressure problems so far. But unless I control this, I am in for hell. :(

Hi Buchi, the pickle shown in the image looks really delicious and fragrant. I believe it tastes rather spicy. I usually don't take pickle together with food with their heaven taste. I like the original taste of all kind of foods with their delicious savors. I don't take them together with pickle together. I'm afraid that the strong taste of any delicious pickle might cover the original taste of the food. I'm not saying that I don't like pickle. I just prefer to take them with other plain food like plain rice, steam rice noodle, bread, etc which needs pickle to make them delicious. I love pickle with spicy, sour and a bit of sweet taste. Yeah, mango and lemon will give such wonderful taste to the pickle. I like to take pickle prepared from onion, chili, dried shrimp paste, lemon. The coconut milk rice taste yummy heavenly if taking together with this hot pickle. Another wonderful pickle which is also my favorite. It's pickle with the mixed ingredients of mango, onion, dried shrimp, small green chili, etc Have a nice day

You are very much welcome dear Really happy to read your comment left here this morning. When talking about delicious food I always feel energetic. After taking some raisins, I'm now chewing dried ginseng slices in my mouth Really awesome eh....lol... Here we have ginger pickle and garlic pickle as well. Yeah, all these pickles seem making my mouth watery Both pickles mentioned are usually soaking in the jug of fluid seasoning. We could get them conveniently as they are available in the market. We like eating them after finished our meal. Yeah, pickle is the wonderful appetizer to take to stimulate our appetite. Therefor I agree that foods served on the dinner table would vanish fast if they are entertained in meal time. My kid like cucumber pickle when having meal. Take care and have a nice day.

hi buchi__bulla oh that sounds good, mango pickles You must be in India. I am in the US i love dill pickles made from cucumbers, sweet gherkins which are little baby cucumbers, bread and butter pickles oh and I loved pickled onions, the little white ones with pickled cauliflower so good,your foods sound so good to me too. I like big sliced dill pickles on my hamburgers, so good. I have never tasted pickled fruit but as I love most fruits I bet I would like some of the things you have there. the pickled onions and cauliflower go great in a salad to give it some real zest. this is nice to share our different foods.

Hatley my friend, now by writing about so many pickles, you have made me run to the kitchen and eat pickle rice. It is like contagious taste friend. When one is eating pickle, other will go in for it. When you write about it, people will leave work and go to kitchen to eat pickle.

You are right haiershen. Pickle causes acidity and it generates heat also. But little quantity consumption once in a while does not pose problem.

Hello Buchi! Pickles are not my hot favorites as spicy and oily pickles do not suit me. I prefer to take 'lemon pickle', which is considered good for our digestion and goes well with every dish and 'KICHDI'. Earlier I used to take mango pickle, however, now I have stopped taking it.

Wise decision it is Deepak, especially as we get older.I too have BP and I do not use pickle much.

Vav deepak, kichdi with pickle is a good combination. I too eat lemon pickle with kichdi. You try garlic pickle with kichdi. That is also good. Anyway as kalav56 said, BP patients should be careful with pickle.

Dear friend, I too like mango pickles, also other pickles with white onion also. But mostly I prefer mango pickles. I hope it is good combination with rice. But at times too of eating pickles would create acidity.
• India

Yes. Pickle should be used in a small quantity. BP patients should be very careful with pickle.

Isn't it strange how picky our pickles palates can be? I have been a pickle fan nearly all my life. i have not particularly cared for plain old dill pickles though. I tend to favor sweet pickles. My favorite has to be a sweet gherkin. I could eat the whole jar! Now you've done it. I feel a pickle craving coming on!

As far as I am concerned, I think I do not like the pickle at all,which I think if I eat more will do a lot bad to my body health. So in case to help me to build a more strong body, I will usuallt try my best t o cook it myself ,not the pickle food.

self made food item is always tasty and good for health. Pickle also can be made at home and eaten in small amount. Once in a way eating pickle will not harm our body. I eat pickle once in a week.

Then your my greatest enemy. Because I love pickles too. And this world is not big enough for bought of us. Just kidding. Because here in my home we always fight every time theirs a food we like. Its not a fight, fight it more on positive kind of fight. We do share and give more to each other than to our self. But because we love pickles so much that we can't eat without it. We have five or more pickles in our house. And our friends and family friends give us pickles as a gift. So imagine that how popular pickles is in our home.

Mmm I love pickles. Pickles are good to sour or sweeten food up. They are good with cheeseburgers. When you crush sweet pickles, it makes relish, which is good with hotdogs. Pickles out of a jar are good. A lot of Japanese food have pickles, because Japanese people like to have pickles with rice. For example, pickled ginger is good with sushi. Pickled plum is good with rice. Pickled vegetables are also good with sushi. Let's just say, pickles are delicious!

Aavakay is so tasty. When the fresh pickle of aavakay is made, it is so tempting to eat it immediately. The smell will be catching our whole concentration towards it. I like menthi mamidikai pickle also much.

Somehow from my childhood, I never liked baby mangoes pickle (vadumanga oorga). But all the other pickles are my favourites. But I have BP. So my usage of pickle is limited.

Hello Buchi_bulla. I like pickle very much, but ours is usually made from vegetables, like string beans, and some other kind of beans and cabbages, etc. Yeah, I agree that it adds to the flavor and those who like to eat pickle find it tasty. Just this morning when I was having breakfast in the hotel where I lived, I had pickles for my porridge. Take care, friend.

Buchi !In India too we do make mixed veg pickle.You can slice, beans, cauliflower,carrot,simlachilly,into veyr thin slices , soak htem in bOIling water[away from stove] drain , wipe dry and make the pickle by adding the usual ingredients.Some people add vinegar to soak the pickle.I prefer lime juice.THis won't last for months.You can still keep it in the fridge for a month or so.

I never knew that vegetables are also used to make pickle. Here in India we use garlic, carrot and onion to make pickles, which is called mixed vegetables pickle. Even in egg plant (brinjal), somewhere I saw pickle being made. But I never saw pickle being made in cabbage and beans. I feel like tasting them. Have a good day friend.

You can make this vegetable pickle is it? That is really very good ya. My sister makes very good pickles. I always feel very proud of her. Now I am very proud of you too, my friend.

Pickle is bad in the sense it contains more oil and more salt too. Hence it is bad for BP patients. Oil is cholestrol. Though I like pickle, since I am a BP patient, I use it occasionally.

hi,friend,my first preference is to GONGORA and then Mango followed by Riped chilli pickle..............I generally eat Gongora with Dal curry and at the same time other pickles also with thwe same combination.The Joke is my initial is PERUGU[CURD] and i stopped eating Curd since 30 years[now i am 47 years old]...........my brainstorming problem is my elder daughter[18 years old] is also not eating rice with curd combination......
• India

Gongura thokku is the favourite of all Telugu speaking people. I bought one bottle and eat now and then. My sister makes riped chilli pickle. It will be very tasty. Why do you not eat perugu (curd)? Is it because you do not like it or it does not suit you as curd is very cool for the body. I feel sad that your daughter also does not eat it. Curd rice is very good for the stomach and stomach related problems.
