I remember last year when we first came to Ireland and I went grocery shopping. I was so excited to see what we would find. I knew that it would most-likely be quite different than America. What I didn't thinking about was all the things I wouldn't find like pickle relish. I know on the blog I have posted some things on this topic but realized I may not have mentioned, there is no "American pickle relish". This poses a problem for our family since we put pickle relish in Tuna (for sandwiches), potatoe salad, macaroni salad, egg salad (for sandwiches) and so forth. At first I thought this is no big deal. I can just cut up some sweet pickles until I discovered that their sweet pickles are NO WHERE near as sweet as ours. hmmmmm
Here is what Irish relish looks like. The indredients are Tomato (41%),Vinegar ,Sugar ,Onions ,Sultanas ,Tomato Puree (5%) ,Sea Salt
,Mustard Seed ,Spices
As you can see, there are no pickles even in it!
