relish from the grocery store has gotten so cheaply made you have to strain it first. even, and especially, the mass market ‘name brands’. i did run across one super off-brand, imported from turkey or india or something, that was great, though… and like half the store brand price.
so unless i have that or strain the ‘regular’ stuff first, or just cut-up some pickles instead (what i’ve been doing more of lately), the relish goes on top. everything else goes on first.
I slather the crease in relish, then tuck diced tomatoes/onion/lettuce (eg) into the relish, then dog, then presentation mustard.

The Heinz relish aint so bad… i use it and its ok. I miss the Coney Island deli we used to have here 20 years ago… its become a laundry now.
