Major Grey's Chutney

[4][5] Its characteristic ingredients are mango, raisins, vinegar, lime juice, onion, tamarind extract (occasionally), sweetening, and spices.

[6] The product was long associated with Sharwood’s Mango Chutney, Major Grey version, but this is no longer mass-produced for sale in the United Kingdom.

It is reputed that a British army major named Grey had a sweet variety of mango chutney made especially to suit his taste.

Thus Major Grey Chutney is thought to have been born, made by Merwanjee Poonjiajee, established in the year 1876.

[11] One of the oldest brands, reputedly the first manufacturer to popularise the chutney in the West, is Crosse & Blackwell,[5][12][13] now partly owned by the J.M.
