Sounds nice - does it come out mushy or dry?

Mamta's seems to keep a year, happily - wonder what the difference is - or whether I've tempting fate?? = Tim

Bit of a daft question, but what is it like?  Is it mushy, like relish?  What do you eat it with??  I am the only aubie eater here, so if you all recommend it, I might give it a try but I am dubious as I am iffy with pickles - don't like vinegar very much at all.
