[Food] Branston Pickle

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Always hated the look and smell of the stuff growing up, but my old man loved it.

Im rather partial to it every now and again these days though. I've officially turned into my dad.

 

[vegster]

Love it but Mrs V won't let me have it in the house.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I love ,but didn’t realise it had that much sugar!

My misses has the smooth version in her sandwiches, doesn't even get any pickle!!

Of course she does. In small manageable chunks.

Saw the thread title and thought it was our latest transfer rumour !

I can’t get enough of this stuff at the moment.

I bloody love it. I don't mind trying some fancy alternatives from time to time, but branston on cheese and crackers is a staple for me.

I’m quite partial to M&S pear and Apple chutney

You’re just showing off now
I’ve made a note for my next visit

For me it has to be Branston Small chunk variety. I can cope with large chunk but the totally smooth one doesn't taste quite right. Glorious with a really strong Cheddar. Most of the alternatives are not up to and verge on being more chutney like ( sultana overdose ).

I might add that I actually prefer Branston baked beans over Heinz

Yes but can he play left back?

My Branston. Sometimes goes by Mr Pickles.
My favourite Branston. Small chunk pickle is second best.

I’m loyal to Branston Pickle. Dad reared us on it! It’s comparatively quite high in salt mind. Beans and the pickle are made / owned by entirely different businesses though.

I make my own chutneys so can't really comment.

Branston is good, but is it that much better than the rest to justify the price differential?

He/she can pickle my cheese any time.

I have had all the pickles, and made my own. Branston is the absolute best.

Now piccalilli.....

I'm currently preferring my Cheddar sans pickle.

 

[jcdenton08]

Any suggestions for other Branston pickle uses (in food, before any clever wag suggests tarring the roof etc)?

Only so much mature cheddar a man can eat

Ooooo.....yeah. mmmmm

 

[OzMike]

I love it, especially grilled on toast with melted cheese on top, though I know I will suffer from reflux after.

I used to put a spoonful in a bowl of oxtail soup. Lovely combination.
