And this growth kept getting faster right through the 15 th to 18 th Centuries. Of course the biggest and fastest mixture of European culture in an English context came with the increased European settling of North America during the 18 th and 19 th Century. It was by now the time of the industrial revolution, mass production and the start of universal education.
So it was now possible to make and sell preserves, something we love at QJJ, but here is where marketing gets involved. It is easy to imagine during the 19 th and early 20 th Century when someone wanted to sell a relish in North Dakota they would call it a pickle North Dakota having many German speaking immigrants , conversely selling a pickle commercial amongst the Italian immigrants of New York or the French of Montreal would likely be more successful if it was renamed as a relish.
The industrial revolution and universal education also saw the growth of publishing and reading, which meant that cook books were no longer the preserve of just the rich. It meant that families could now preserve their recipes by writing them down.
The word relish of course has two other meanings in the Oxford English Dictionary. I could not find out which came first, using the word to describe a specific recipe or as a general description of any condiment; though I strongly suspect the former use came first given the French root for relish is the word for remainder and so describes a process of preserving leftovers. Given these two other uses of the word it is easy to imagine how people could mistakenly use the word instead of pickle and even easier to imagine how someone in marketing would rather call their product a relish.
So today we have people across the globe with their own tradition of using either the word pickle or relish to describe a particular preserve. These variables could include their own lineage, where they currently live, where their ancestors use to live, who in the family first decided to name it, what the person who shared the recipe called it, what a manufacturer decided to call it and what English they or their ancestors were first exposed to.
A huge range of variables has led to the current mix up, which in many ways mirrors the development of the English language, but there is no need for it to continue. There is a discernible difference between a relish and a pickle. There is a lot of history that has gone into the development of English and the naming of preserves, that is a lot of tradition to try and change.
While the Chinese are responsible for inventing this unique process, it is now being commonly used in almost every region. The product or food item obtained from pickling is known as a pickle. However, there are numerous types of pickles. You may already be accustomed to relishes and pickles as they are some of the most popular food items that one can enjoy with various dishes. Both of them are widely consumed all around the world. While both of them may be obtained from the process of pickling, users often confuse them with each other.
For some people, they are exactly the same thing. There are definitely a number of facts that differentiate one from the other. Using this article, we will be discussing both of these products in detail.
A pickle is basically any food vegetable or fruit preserved in a solution like vinegar or brine. Most usually, different vegetables are preserved in said solution. But any food that is rich in water content can be used to make pickles. By fermenting or immersing a food item in vinegar or any similar solution, the lifespan of the food increases. The process also changes the texture and flavor of the food.
