Talk:India relish

, most of the cites I see on Google Books are for the specific Heinz brand of India relish - WT:BRAND? —Aryamanarora (मुझसे बात करो) 22:50, 3 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I've just added 3 citations. They're all rather recent so something older would be nice. The fact that I found a book saying that Heinz began making India relish (no capital R, and without saying that they invented it) seems to make it clear that there was a such a thing beforehand.

 * Using this gadget, I found a cite from 1912 - but the use is definitely a brand.

 * Sorry for the slow response...I took the afternoon off because I was ill., you might want to search in Books or somewhere else for the term India relish as it pertains to Ernest Hemingway.  I see there's a Hemingway-related citation from just two years ago; that citation is referencing a burger recipe that dates from the 1920s.  I first learned of this substance while reading Hemingway's hamburger recipe, which includes a spoonful of it.  And, near as I can figure, prior to the Heinz product there was a traditional relish made in India. Pur ple back pack 89   01:19, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) No problem! Equinox found cites for it. And yes, it is an Indian food (I'm Indian, as seen in my signature) but this is the first time I've heard this specific name - normally I call it . The Hemingway connection is interesting as well. —Aryamanarora (मुझसे बात करो) 01:28, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
