Picalilli

Are relish and piccalilli the same thing? This should be clarified on both pages.96.238.45.90 (talk) 22:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder, is the fact that "Gentleman's Relish" was invented by John Osborn the reason that singer Joan Osborne chose to name her debut album "Relish"? The similar names might be an incredible coincidence, but now I have to wonder. If there's any way to verify this hunch, it would be worth noting in the article. - Ugliness Man 15:29, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article says that pickles are relish, but defines relish as a sauce made from pickled or cooked fruits and vegetable. Pickles are thus NOT relish, as they are not a sauce but whole or sliced cucumbers.

"Pickle" in some contexts can mean any pickled condiment, not necessarily pickled cukes. 65.41.47.160 14:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research

Much of this article appears to be original research.

For example, the entire paragraph:

In the United States, the most common commercially available relishes are made from pickled cucumbers and are known in the food trade as pickle relishes. Two variants of this are hamburger relish (pickle relish in a ketchup base or sauce) and hotdog relish (pickle relish in a mustard base or sauce). Other readily available commercial relishes in the United States include corn (maize) relish. Heinz, Vlasic, and Claussen are well known in the United States as producers of pickles and relishes. One of the best known pickle manufacturers in the UK is Branston.

This paragraph contains numerous unsourced/unverified "facts".

It's also true. Do you honestly think it's possible to "verify" what relish is like in the US? I mean, go to the store.

Pico de Gallo

I have heard this described as a relish. I think it has more in common with most relish than most salsa, wot wot?
