Piccalilli is basically an English version of Indian pickles. A spiced relish of chopped pickled vegetables. Piccalilli makes a nice accompaniment to many British dishes, including the Full English Breakfast with its banger sausages, rasher bacon, eggs, black pudding, and tomatoes. Piccalilli goes good with just about anything, but is also a nice snack on its own.
