I enjoy pickles with cold meat and I haven't had piccalilli since
childhood

There's a British food stall at the local farmers' mkt and I think I'll
go there to see if they have any. Heinz makes it and the UK S/Ms have
their own brands too.

My Granny, mother and an aunt used to make it in the 1950's. I don't
think I've tasted commercial brands of piccalilli.

You can always find a great selection of homemade preserves, chutneys
baking and cakes on sale at fundraising events here. Now I'm wondering
why I never see piccalilli there.

A good size fresh cauli costs only a pound or less here, so I'm going
to have a go.
