    5. I have heard of pickled pineapple before but I hadn't tried it myself. My husband's aunty mentioned it at a family gathering a few months ago. Is it only a snack or do you serve it with something else too, with a curry and bhaji?

    7. Ok I want to go back in time and have these shops on my way home from school. The shops we went past had greasy fish and chips, sausages and super sugary cakes and buns!! This sounds like an amazing snack, and a fantastic way to enjoy some pineapple

    12. This is probably a really stupid question, but I'd really like to try this and I don't understand what you mean by 8 No pineapple and 3 No green chili. What does "No" mean?

    15. Just one question about this excellent recipe. What type little chile pepper did you use. Looks real small in the photo. We have all types of peepers here in Arizona and I'm sure we have the one you used. Thanks

    16. It doesn't sound like much if any fermentation goes on here since it's put in the refrigerator right after being cooked. I'm not very familiar with pickling is there more than one method and type of pickling (one that ferments and one that doesn't) or don't pickles have the same pro-biotic benefits as other ferments? I know that the vinegar and some of the benefits that develop from and in that combined with minerals added & developed have benefits all their own but this method (maybe pickling in general) doesn't sound like fermenting takes place. Am I missing or not understanding that correctly? Also does cooking the pineapple affect the specific benefits from pineapple (bromelain etc) at all? Usually cooking live cultures kills them too which I guess is another reason this doesn't sound like a ferment. But I may be all wrong here.

      1. Thats so much of information that you have passed on to me ..Haha :) anyways there was no science behind this recipe of mine or may be I have no idea about it. This is a very common street food all across India / Asia so just thought of recreating it at home. Would work great with taco / sandwich /burrito bowls or even just eating as it is.Thanks!

      2. I agree. It should make it's own brine. Adding vinegar to something is not pickling it. I'm thinking of making this, but instead of vinegar I will use a starter brine that I made when I made fermented salsa verde.

    17. I have a starter brine already made. Can I use that instead of vinegar?
