My grandmother used to serve a large yorkshire pudding as a starter before sunday dinner and we'd have this with it (and gravy). A taste sensation. I was talking about it to my wife the other day but couldn't recall the exact ingredients. Her's didn't have tomato, onion perhaps and something like shredded cabbage maybe

This (and balsamic vinegar is the devil's bin juice, vile stuff)

It's basically thin mint sauce with extra ingredients. We were never posh enough for it, just mint sauce on our Yorkshire puddings

Yeah it's just salad with vinegar on. Cuts through all the richness.

Also very good with curry. It's pretty much a cacumber (sic?) though lemon would be used rather than vinegar.
