Relish
A relish is a
cooked or pickled sauce, usually made with vegetables or
fruits, generally used as a condiment. It can be smooth or
chunky, sweet or savory, hot or mild.
Thus, chutneys
and pickles may both be considered relishes. Other
relishes include ajvar.
Relish can be
mixed with mayonnaise
to make tartar sauce.
A famous relish
is the Gentleman's Relish, which was invented in 1828 by
John Osborn and contains spiced anchovy.
It is traditionally spread sparingly atop unsalted butter
on thin, hot toast.
Heinz, Vlasic,
and Klausen are well known in the United States as
producers of pickles and relishes.
