Cranberry!
Only because it's the only chutney I've ever had.

The best chutneys are (in no particular order):
Irish Marrow
Spicy Tomato
Green Tomato
Some other ones.

Green tomato - now we're talking.
I also like Ainsley's Acorn chutney.

My mother would make 20+ jars of a good 8 types of chutney a year.
And similar quantities and varieties of jam. We had an allotment in our garden that must have been 50 feet square, with a fruit cage and all manner of veg. It's probably the reason I'm not dead today.

That's incredibly smart. I don't know how to do any of those things.
I don't think I could keep a veggie garden growing.

My mother had a bit of time on her hands when we all went to school.
She didn't have the nerve to develop secret alcoholism so chutney it was.

She could have made her own wine!

Aged 16 my brother had a pub in his bedroom.
Marble-topped bar, optics, barrels and bottles of his own beer....

Funnily enough he's a massive alcoholic these days.

it's not alcoholism if you're testing the product!

My father ran the Winchester College Wine Society so home-made shit was not going to cut it at Chateau Boyce.

Strong cheese, cold meat and chutney. Pickled onions and pickled chilli on the side.
That's a man's lunch!

All washed down with a jolly old fist fight and a hearty balloon of breandeh.
