Pickle in the Middle - 134 Unley Road, Unley SA 5061
Hi, my name is Amanda and I must confess, I am addicted to pickles! So as soon as I heard that Pickle in the Middle had opened I couldn't get there quick enough! I had been keeping a close eye on the opening of this new breakfast and lunch spot since undertaking a pickling course with the owners back in August 2014. Since I was lucky enough to try their delectable pickles back then and learn some of their pickling techniques, I had a good feeling about their new venture, Pickle in the Middle.Entering the modern, minimalistic and bright new space, we find a table for two along the side wall. Above us jars of pickles for sale adorn the shelves and my excitement continues to grow! A brief look at the menu and I know exactly what I'm going to order, the 'Cheese 'n' Pickle Toastie' (was there ever any doubt)! My lunch date takes a little longer but decides on the 'Kasundi Chicken Sandwich'.
Cheese 'n' Pickle Toastie $12.00 (front) Kasundi Chicken Sandwich $14.00 (back) |
The Kasundi Chicken Sandwich described as a focaccia filled with Kasundi-baked chicken, roast capsicum, yoghurt sauce and herbed cos was enjoyed by my lunch date. She loved all the delicious indian inspired flavours but had one criticism involving the bread. On this occasion the focaccia bread was very hard and tough to bite through. Hopefully just a one off as the focaccia is baked fresh in house daily.
Red Juice $7.50 |
Sweet Toast $8.50 |
Overall I loved Pickle in the Middle and will definitely be returning. I just hope I can get past the cheese and pickle toastie on the menu next time to try something different. Although as I've previously confessed, I am a pickle addict so I'm not sure this will ever be possible!
