What is Naga pickle, and why is it different?

[PLACEHOLDER — to be confirmed] Sample post body for layout review.

Naga meat pickle is not the sweet-and-sour pickle most people in the UK have met. It is savoury, fermented, and hot in a way that comes from Bhut Jolokia rather than from added heat.

Across Nagaland, fermenting meat is an everyday practice rather than a speciality. Each household has its own timing and its own balance of salt and spice.
