What the AI looks for in Vegetable Relishes
- Style
- Decide on British brown pickle, Southern chow chow, corn relish or hot pepper relish before choosing a brand. The vegetable relish category covers very different condiments.
- Chunk size
- Small-chunk versions spread more easily in sandwiches. Large chunks fall out of bread.
- Vinegar and sweetness
- Check the order of sugar and vinegar on the label. This decides whether the relish reads as tangy or sweet.
Brands that matter
- Branston: British brown vegetable pickle, also sold in a small-chunk version.
What to avoid
- Buying Branston expecting a cucumber pickle, since it is a dark, sweet vegetable relish.
