Which make and model car was named after a condiment made from cauliflowers?

i have only found this one reference to the rolls royce silver ghost piccalilli: "My husband has always thought Rolls-Royce was the best automobile of the world," Rose Browne said of her husband, Dave, who owns the Silver Ghost Piccalilli. so i hope it's correct! Dec 20 06, 7:28 AM

Well, that would probably be someones unique spelling of the 'Rolls Royce Piccadilly Roadster'. Nice try though. Dec 20 06, 7:55 AM

I must say Picadilly sounds more likely than Picallilli - and there's far more listings of it in connection with RR. But is Gobi a condiment? To my mind it's a dish (as is the unrelated cauliflower cheese). Dec 20 06, 10:04 AM

I thought Gobi was a dish too, but the fact there was any car with a name that related in any way to cauliflowers was enough to convince me. Dec 20 06, 10:17 AM

It doesn't convince me, the Banana holder. ;) Nope, once again BoyPipe, nice effort but no cigar. Might I add that there are other ingredients in this condiment, loaded with GARDEN varieties. Dec 20 06, 3:51 PM

Obviously the GARDEN clue went over everyone's head. Frankie and Spanishliz might be ones who would have this condiment readily available, methinks. Dec 20 06, 9:20 PM

Frankiebabe and robboy have both lived in the country where the condiment and the car are from. Antipasto would be my next clue if I were feeling generous. Dec 26 06, 7:54 PM

Ok, now that Gmack has made a comeback, I think it will be quite obvious to him. He knows what it means when I type in capitals. It means the answer is right under everyone's nose. Feb 09 07, 7:35 AM

The Italians like to drown celery and olives in vinegar with the cauliflower too... Feb 09 07, 4:36 PM

Here's a total cut-and-paste from Wikipedia: "Giardiniera is a condiment consisting of serrano peppers, bell peppers, crushed red peppers, celery, carrots, cauliflower and green olives in vegetable oil. Italian giardiniera, the godfather of American giardiniera, contains no peppers, and is simply pickled vegetables in vinegar. Common vegetables in the Italian version include onions, celery, carrots and cauliflower." This sounds similar to the Latin American "jalapenos en escabeche." I throw out everything but the peppers. Now here's the funny-looking little Fiat Giardiniera: http://www.microcarmuseum.com/tour/fiat500K.html Feb 10 07, 11:58 AM

I think I'd almost rather have the cauliflower than the Fiat.... Feb 10 07, 1:55 PM

Ahhh, finally. Nice One qp. Another Golden Banana for you. Um, do you need an instruction booklet? Feb 10 07, 4:14 PM

Thank you. Nah, instructions are for dummies...I'll just pop it in my blender. Feb 10 07, 4:42 PM
