"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Our friends, Ed and Pat Sammel, were on assignment in East Pakistan when the revolution broke out and East Pakistan became Bangladesh. Pat learned to cook Indian, Pakistani and Bangladesh-style while they were there for two years. She shared this authentic chutney recipe with us. We serve this with roast pork, baked ham and other meats--even turkey! We also use this as one of the condiments or side dishes when we make curry dishes. (My Mom loves to serve what are called 8-boy or 10-boy curries, meaning that number of accompanying condiments come with the curries. For her, the more, the merrier. This old Dutch New Guinea term for curries, derived from Colonial days when each side dish was presented by a separate servant.)
