Chilli Pickle
Reader, I threw it out. I’m so ashamed. The first dish that I completely botched (and I can’t even tell you where I went wrong). All I can tell you is that it ended up in the bin.
Day Seven: Chilli Pickle
Recipe by: Elsa Saldanha (sorry Elsa)
It looked so promising, so colourful.

It tasted so, so bad.
I did everything the recipe said, in the order it said it… I even rang my parents when the chilli had started to turn into brittle. They said to add water. I think that made it worse.
I did try some, and I promptly started to choke and spat it out into the remaining mixture. And my mouth has been on fire for 15 minutes.
So I’m really sorry to disappoint, but this will be a short blog. Chilli Pickle, you defeated me. But trust me, there’ll be a rematch.
-3/10 (yes, that’s a minus)
