Panyan pickle reconstructed.
May 27, 2013
*PLEASE NOTE - this is an old blog post from 2013 - we no longer sell PanYan Pickle - thank you!*
It may be a little later than I anticipated but I have attempted to replicate panyan pickle based on the ingredients listed on the original jar. A couple of ingredients have changed, I used cornflour rather than potato starch to thicken the pickle and I suspect I am using a better quality vinegar than the original but, it is done and will soon be for sale in the online shop. This week!
I have based the spicing on all your memories using tamarind, ginger, curry spices etc I need to know if I have got it right.
I do need more feedback, a jar was sent to a panyan pickle lover who says she has tried all panyan pickles on the market. She responded by buying 6 jars and emailed how much she loved it but said her memory wasn't sharp enough to give true analysis.
To this end the first 10 people who order the pickle online will have the cost of the jar refunded if they are prepared to give me feedback, good or bad, just put the word 'feedback' in the' instructions to seller' and I will refund the purchase. Unfortunately the postage will still need to be paid and this is £6.00. Only one free jar per purchaser but of course you can buy anything you want to dilute the postage costs.
Alternatively email me and I can invoice you I am useless at technology.

Thank you!
I can only thank you for making the effort to get as close as you can. I used to live on PanYan so I very much appreciate your efforts. Will be buying for ages. so thanks
Sorry about the smashed jar, will remedy that, the final version will be out sometime in the New Year.
I have learnt there is no such thing as a collective memory, I should have known this, when I have a jar of anything out for tasting, everyone tastes the same jar differently. The final version will be tweaked as to texture and spicing then I am afraid I will be sticking with my ‘variation’ it will never be the ‘same’ for everyone and indeed I use different vinegars and thickening agents and probably spices so it can’t be.
Thank you to everyone who has raised constructive criticism and for those few that have been ‘disappointed’ I am sorry. There was never a recipe to follow, I hadn’t tasted the pickle, this was an experiment. However I hope those that have had mark 2 have enjoyed it and everyone has a great Christmas.
