Rising above that remark (and having already responded to it!) I 
imagine the chickens you're talking about to be the size of poussin?  I 
have no idea what poussin would be in Italian.  This sounds delicious 
and easy and the sort of thing that makes like so much simpler when 
it's busy.  That's another that's gone in the file.  Many thanks.  I 
hope to try Graham's tourtière next week, too but at present an 18 
month old is ruling every minute of our lives and takes top priority.

Closest thing might be a galletto.

This is a recipe I made a lot when I was that busy and taken up, and my 
little one loved it. too.  I made this because I was working on the peach 
mostarda and didn't have time or space for anything complicated.

At present we have our grandson staying and a couple ofn ights I've 
managed to organise myself ahead and had our dinner in the oven while 
he ate his, was bathed and bedded etc.  But a couple of nights I didn't 
I really regretted having to start preparing a meal from scratch!  63

I am not looking forward to our son having children. As you know, out g 
daughters live 266 miles away and it has been known for me to drive down 
there and look after them, for a week, on occasions. He will expect the 
same sort of service and like you, I am the same age and, more 
importantly, I am getting too old to look after any child that can't 
dress, wash and generally look after themselves, even though I am a dab 
hand at changing nappies :-)

Try this one:

Lime Pickle (from: Regional Indian Recipes)

25 limes
40--50 green chillies
1 handful sliced ginger
2 large bulbs garlic peeled
2 tbs mustard seeds
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp methe/fenugreek powder, roasted
1/2--3/4 c salt

Wash and dry the limes, cut into 8 pieces. Slit the ends of the
chillies.

Put all the ingredients in a (nonreactive) vessel and mix well. Bottle
and keep exposed to sunlight for about 10 days, or until the juice from
the limes comes out.

Use after one month; it may be kept for 6 months.

Have you tried their hot mango pickle? It's even better!

I've had it, and like it, but the lime is still the one I prefer! I
suspect it's a memory thing- I travelled to India when I was 16, and I
remember having lime pickle for the first time on the Air India flight
out of Heathrow. It just stuck with me! :)

Yes, memory does play a part. The only Patak's pickle I'm not really
fond of is their aubergine variety. Which is a shame, because
aubergines - in all of their myriad manifestations - are my favourite
vegetable. Their chilli pickle is not too bad either.

I would agree with that, the mango pickle is very good but the lime pickle 
is the best.

Thanks for that I might have a go at it, I tried some homemade lime pickle 
once and it was awesome.

Her Indoors used to get through a jar a week. I swear the stuff is
addictive.

It goes lovely with any curry but also with a salad, it is indeed addictive.

I have a jar of the chilli pickle, but it's not hot enough, so I mixed
in some fabulous dried chillis I have- lovely.

Be forewarned that I've never made this recipe. Lime pickle isn't one of
my favourites. When I needed some for guests who did like it, always
headed up the street to the nearest Bengali grocer and bought one of the
many brands they carried.

So good luck. Other recipes that we did make from that book worked out
just fine, so this should be good too.
