Building a Mixed Pickle Flight for a Tasting Party
Host a pickle tasting party! It's fun, educational, and delicious. Build a flight with 4-6 small bowls of different pickles, arranged from mildest to strongest.
Sample Flight:
Sweet & Mild: Gujarati Mango Chhundo.
Tangy & Crunchy: North Indian Mixed Vegetable (brand like Mother's).
Savory & Oily: Traditional Punjabi Garlic & Mixed Veg.
Sharp & Pungent: South Indian Lemon Pickle (like Priya).
Fermented & Funky: A traditional, aged oil-based pickle.
Wild Card: A fusion pickle (e.g., with apricots or nuts).
Provide plain crackers, bread, mild cheese, and water for palate cleansing. Discuss what you smell, taste, and feel. It’s a fantastic way to explore the category. You can source an entire flight from a comprehensive mixed pickle.
