During our family reunion last Nov. 30, 2008, products and food were sold by some of our enterprising relatives. We bought these Delisha's Home Made Atchara made by Flor Maglalang, wife of my cousin, Hector.
Atchara is the local variant of the western-based pickles. It is made by combining the basic ingredients salt, sugar, vinegar plus other spices, (based on the tastebuds of the maker) with the vegetable of choice. The most common is the pickeled young papaya, known also as atchara.
The innovativeness of this product is that it debunks the usual notion that atchara is papaya - instead, it introduces various pickled vegetables that are equally delicious - ampalaya, singkamas, broccolli and cauliflower, sitaw, ubod, talong. Thus far, ampalaya is still first in our list (yummy).
When we, my friends and my mom (who is a great cook) tasted them - we all agreed that they were good. My friends who are health conscious because of their mutiplying ailments - diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. - enjoyed with gusto the delicacy especially when accompanied by that crispy chitcharon! (so much for the heatlh buff :) We were convinced by the taste that we've ordered more to give to our friends and relatives this Christmas. The price of the product ranges from P60.00 to P 100.00. Try it. It's appetizing! It's nutricious! As the product's advertisement goes, "Pampagana na! Masustansiya pa! Ulam Pa!" They are ideal giveaways!
Updates: Flor Maglalang passed away and the secret on how to prepare the delicious Delisha's atchara remains a secret.
