Piccalilli Problem

The morning after a heavy Piccalilli session


There's an old saying: ' A bit of piccalilli with your meals does no harm, but eating jars and jars of it is not advisable'.

There was never a truer word spoken.


I've been overdoing the condiments recently.

Used to eat a bit of Branston Pickle,
After a while that seemed dull.
Began to crave more excitement from the world of pickles.
The bright yellow of the piccalilli jar.
Started to entice.

But now
With the help of the local pickle users support group
I am coming to terms with the problem.
