thread_title: American piccalilli

message: British piccalilli is always bright yellow, and according to the article the other type is green. Yet the picture shows a brown coloured preparation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.4.152.167 (talk) 08:03, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the photo is of a "mustard piccalilli". While I've never actually seen piccalilli, I know from American recipe books that it's made from mostly green tomatoes- so it would make sense for it to be greenish. As to the British version, I have no clue. If you have any, it would certainly be nice if you could take a pic and upload it. :-) —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 08:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Colour

message: The word is probably related to and possibly derived from the Arabic "mukhallal" meaning "pickled". The language of transmission seems to be Italian, but this may be an illusion Pamour (talk) 10:16, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: An interesting possibility. However, pickle and piccalilli are both surely more likely to derive ultimately from the Dutch pekel, signifying brine or brined products. The Dutch angle is largely, or entirely, missing from the article. In fact you can buy piccalilli both in the Netherlands and Belgium, where portions of it are usually available in chip (i.e. "French fry") shops and stalls. There are plenty of Dutch mustard pickle recipes online, some from American-Dutch families, and piccalilli is known in most former Dutch colonies. It seems to me most likely that it originated, both as a word and a product, in the pickle shops of Amsterdam, where Jewish pickling traditions from Poland and eastern Europe interacted with Indonesian influences.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.91.147 (talk) 13:57, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
