Edna’s Pickles are made with various traditional Indian ingredients — spices and condiments. These are listed on the label of the jars of each and every variety of pickle. The following queries are drawn from the wide spectrum of our prospective customers as they go about sampling the pickles—some of them for the first time. These are some of my experiences as I accompany her at various craft shows in Ontario.
On garlic : My husband can’t stand garlic.
On fenugreek: What’s that? Is it from Greece?
Turmeric : My doctor told me it’s not good my system. Do all these have turmeric?
Cumin Seeds : What do these look like?
Chillies : Are they from Mexico?
Chilli Powder: Isn’t that hot?
Mustard seeds: Why aren’t they yellow?
Sugar : Sorry, my body can’t handle sugar.
Ginger : I love ginger. My doctor told me ginger is good for me.
Mango : Sorry, I’m allergic to mango.
Corn Oil : I love corn, but not oil.
Curry leaves : Leaves in curry?
Eggplant : I didn’t know eggs were planted.
Gherkin : Jerkin? What are they? I've heard of Jerk Chicken, but Gherkin? No.
Vinegar : Sorry I can't handle vinegar. Must you put vinegar in everything?
Salt : Do all your pickles have salt? Yes? Really? Sorry, but not good for my heart, doctor said.
