I have a hankering for some old-fashioned English-style country chutney like my Mum used to make. Anybody know if it's available anywhere here?

(Post recipes, by all means, but only if you're planning to make some for me... )

DM didn't you get the recipe off your Mum?

Before my old mum passed away I got her recipe for gnocci - that didn't sound right, I meant some years before she passed away!

There's egg in chutney??

I would have though JD at HHHB might stock something like that - could be worth giving him a call

[dtaai-maai]

Yes, Barry, we pop in to JD's place now and then, but that's one thing I've never seen there. I'll PM him though - maybe he could get some.

But I'm sure we did see or buy some 4-5 years ago somewhere in HH. Buggered if I can remember where tho...

(Migrant, you twerp, the egg was in gnocchi! )

Villa Market is worth a visit.

Have you tried any of the stores selling Indian goodies? BTW, it's pretty easy to make chutney at home.

JD was advertising these in his advertorial thread!?

Ham & Bacon Company: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8564

EDIT: I just noticed this thread has had 143 views better get some more jars in JD... before the disgruntled masses start dismantling your shop

Try asking the Ham and Bacon company. There is also a little shop selling products at the bottom of soi 88 over the railway. It is very easy to make though

Actually, I've just been googling some recipes, and it really does look simple. Will probably give it a whirl.

You mean you've never heard of egg chutney? I guess it must be just one of those regional Yorkshire things then - apparently the miners used to take small jars of it down the pits to eat with their 'snap'.
The idea was that, while regular chutney tends to go straight through as it were, a chutney made with eggs was thought to have 'binding' qualities. It was also thought to have a soothing effect against the coal dust which got into miners throats.
They used pickled eggs chopped finely and combined with any regular fruit chutney, although it seems to have been most popular combined with gooseberry or tomato, both of which were widely grown on peoples' allotments so plentiful and cheap.

BTW top tip for JD - Haywards onions are fine - but Garners are the bees knees IMHO!
