Achara is the condiment that I always found on the table when we used to travel back to the Philippines to visit my father’s side of the family. It was like the ketchup or mustard, and it went with just about anything. Grilled fish, barbecued pork, grilled chicken – Achara has that sweet and sour flavour that I just love. Try it with a burger or a hot dog, and you’ll soon find that you’ll want to put it on just about everything, too!
