Plus, it's fun to say "chutney" over and over again for no reason

Here I am, once again trying various items from the British section of the supermarket.

Today's item is Sharwood's Mango & Ginger Chutney.

You might recall that I tried a different kind of chutney back in December of 2008, which I blogged about here. I described it as follows:

"Somewhere up in Saskatchewan, a bottle of barbecue sauce falls in love with a bottle of sweet-and-sour sauce. They live together for awhile, and start talking about getting married, but then the sweet-and-sour sauce has an affair with a bottle of worcestershire sauce.
Sweet-and-sour gets pregnant, and is not entirely sure who the father is.
So, when the kid is born, they all go on the Jerry Springer show and shout and throw chairs at each other before agreeing to do a paternity test.

That is exactly what tamarind chutney tastes like."

Surprisingly, this is pretty much what Sharwood's Mango Ginger Chutney tastes like too, except it's weaker on the worcestershire (tamarind) flavor, and stronger on the sweet-and-sour flavor.

The nice thing is that it can make an otherwise common boring meal into one you can proudly describe to your friends.

"I had roast pheasant with new baby potatoes and innocent basil flambe over goat trachea fois gras," they'll proclaim with their usual air of snobbery. "What did YOU have?"

"Oh, I had tender succulent chicken delicately glazed in mango ginger chutney," you can say nonchalantly, while doing your best to hide the McNuggets box.
