If the process has a normal distribution, 99.7% of the population is captured by the curve at three standard deviations from the mean. Stated another way, there is only a 1-99.7%, or 0.3% chance of finding a value beyond 3 standard deviations.
Relish is one of them. The most traditional corn relish traces its origins to the South, particularly Louisiana. This sort of relish is often little more than fresh corn kernels, hot peppers, and spices that are boiled briefly in vinegar. The vinegar acts as a preserving agent and also pickles the corn.

My family was fond of serving some kind of a relish with the meal.Those who liked relish with their meal would put a spoonful of it on their plate and take little small amounts of it with each bite of their meat.
