Alpo Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I was reading today's comic, and I thought he had a bottle of that rooster hot sauce next to his leg, so I embiggened the picture and realized it was just a bottle of ketchup. He also has a bottle of mustard, a package of hot dogs, a package of buns, and a green bottle, which I presume is squeeze sweet relish. I've seen them in the stores, but I've always used the glass bottle and you take it out with a spoon. Just wondering if anyone has experience, and how you like it. Better or worse than using the spoon? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Looking at the picture again, I believe I was wrong about the sweet relish. I think it's a can of mountain dew with a straw in it. But that still doesn't change my question about squeeze bottles of relish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I often use the squeeze bottle relishes. There’s no real difference in the taste or texture between them and what you get from a jar. I also strain either of them when I make salads. I find both to have too much liquid to use for tuna or chicken salads. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Used it, not impressed enough to buy some, embiggened, a new to me word, also not impressed enough to use. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Relish from a Jar. Relish, whether sweet or dill has way too much liquid for anything. Needs strained prior to consumption. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Graybeard Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The squeeze bottle is a royal PITA. Seems you either get liquid or too much...or it won't come out. I much prefer the jars and a spoon 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I use little sweet relish over the course of a year, but I do use the squeeze bottle. As with all squeezers, mustard, ketchup, etc. you need to shake it up good or you'll get mostly liquid at first. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) I've used it at cookouts when people have brought the combined package, one bottle each of yellow mustard, catsup, and relish. I think it's slightly wetter that the stuff in the jar, so I don't use it at home . It's interesting that people are saying that the jarred relish is too wet. I guess my wife and I like our tuna salad and such looser than most people, or maybe use less mustard and mayonnaise than others do. ADDED: Maybe the dry mustard we add absorbs some of the moisture.

Cactus Jack Calder Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If there’s too much liquid in the relish use a fork. I haven’t used a spoon since forever. My mother taught me to use a fork for relish when I was just a little Bairn. UP THE BRUCE! CJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Funny thing is, I like a small amount of sweet relish juice on my hot dogs. I don't like the actual relish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooky Slim Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Jar Relish for sure...that squeeze stuff just ain't right. And my Mama taught me to use a fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Has anyone ever used squeeze sweet relish? Not by choice. I do not relish relish of any kind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 The Heinz relish in the squeeze bottle and in the jar are the same recipe. Having used both in two separate batches of the same recipe on the same day, I can vouch for them being the same. I prefer dill relish on my dogs, but I mix sweet and dill for my tuna and chicken salads. I often add a little chopped pickled pimento to the tuna!

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I think that for big picnics the squeeze condiment bottles are a lot better than the jars. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't tell any difference in taste. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
