No, but it does tell me that there is some ignorance to be fought. Goddamned Ikea, pussy, health, fusion, nouvelle cuisine movement. Mango Chutney is so 90’s.

I disagree with your assessment of this statement. Chutneyssssss, implies all chutneys.

Mango is a common ingredient in one chutney, and that is mango chutney. Mango is not a commonn ingredient in chutneys.

I just looked at five mango chutney recipes online and no two of them had identical ingredients. So there is not just one mango chutney, but many types. (The second recipe I googled up contained pineapple juice and macadamia nuts! What’s that, Hawaiian chutney?) Ergo, “mango” is an ingredient in chutneys.

On Chutney

I know of many different kinds of chutney, and a variety of mango ones as well. So I just took the question to mean “name a popular ingredient in chutney.”

As the request to name an ingredient in ALL Chutneys would be obscure and quite anal-retentive- such as name an ingredient in all Mustard OTHER than mustard Seeds.

No, but I guarantee those mango chutneys included, “Mango” as a descriptor… i.e. Mango and Green Tomato chutney, Mango and Pineapple Chutnney, Mango and “Blank” chutney. Mango does not define chutney.

And, devilsknew, I do feel your pain. I suspect what annoys you about mango chutney is the same thing that annoys me about people putting cranberries in biscotti. (I’m Italian.)

However, to be quite succinct: When I said “a common ingredient in chutneys”, my actual mental parsing was – chutneys that you encounter – what are they often made of?

And, since I am in America, I myself said “mango” because I figured that’s what most people would have encountered.

However, I personally have made chutney with just about every fruit under the sun except tomatoes. I love it with roasted meat. I love it with poultry. I love it with fish.

Believe me, I was equally baffled when everybody said, “conch”.

I hope I made it.

Wow - this one went quick! I think we have way too many entries. 58 if I counted right. Unfortunately, my spreadsheet only goes to 50. I’ll sit out this round.

Back in a couple of hours with the scores.

We stopped at Freckafree for 50 entrants, and I excluded myself. Brujaja, you were late to your own Feud! And give yourself an asskicking for putting a line return between your answers… :smiley:

Yep. The only reason I answered “Mango” is because I thought it would be most popular answer. You could make an argument that “Cabernet Sauvignon” is a wine grape variety and “Bordeaux” is a wine variety (I won’t, but someone could), but I knew Cabernet Sauvignon would be a more popular answer than Bordeaux, so that’s what I put.

Yet, Major Grey chutney has mangoes in it, and nary a mention in the name.
