James May tries Rachael's homemade pickle

[@davetdowell]

@@h.j.b3705 Don't the dots connect automatically? People who care about details and quality of cars also care about details and quality of food. Seems like a natural fit to me. Much like the 'half a pub' thing. James is a man who wants things to be 'right' whether in a car, a pub, or on a plate, and I suspect in lots of other areas of life.

Is there a recipe for this "better than Branstons" pickle??

[@Belznis]

In Latvia there was a period where country people made pickles at home because stores had nothing to offer. To this day a lot of people make them at home. Not every recipe is the same, but most of them taste awesome, so I would say that making things like these at home is a valuable skill. So even if it does not taste like from the store, thumbs up for the skill. Do not have anything like that here, because it sounds like the recipe comes from India or something, but we do have variations, not just whole marinated pickles, sounds like the thing we call here ''Man's Jam''.
