Weird, I know. DH and I were discussing piccalilli, and I was saying that I first encountered it in fiction, probably a 1970s or earlier children’s book, where a character has to eat something disgusting and can only force it down with large amounts of piccalilli. At the time of reading I only had the haziest idea of what this substance actually was.
Now it’s really bugging me that I can’t remember any more details about this literary moment. Can anyone help, please?!
