  • I found a Jar of Branston pickle in a small store, so I bought it not knowing what I would do with it. I checked the website and... apparently the company has few ideas on what you should do with it too, they suggest dumping out the jar and using it as a vase.

      Got to agree, at least as far as 'generic' cheddar goes - I used to buy it exclusively here in the UK in the 90's and early 2000's (most of the supermarket chains stocked it). It wasn't cheap but no more expensive than many of the 'brand name' mature cheddars, and then it just completely disappeared, pretty sure thanks to the beneficent EU regulators dictating trade to us at the time.

    The jar of Branston Pickle you're using is meant for having on a plate with meat or salad etc. You should be using 'Branston Small Chunk' pickle for a sandwich, which is exactly the same recipe/taste but has smaller chunks for spreading inside a sandwich.

      I seen it on their website described as better for sandwiches, unfortunately in this part of Canada I can only reliably get the original.

      @@TalentlessCooking I think you can buy a 'ploughmans pickle' . In England there's a popular meal called a Ploughmans lunch that comes with pickle, and you can buy sandwiches based on that meal. Best consumed with beer or cider and suits a hot day. There are quite a few you tube videos with supreme examples and variations but i think the typical is represented by czcams.com/video/veFgb5doii4/video.html

      Is it toast then cheese then Branston, or toast Branston then cheese? Now my standard cheese on toast always goes under the grill until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Yours?

      It's not a part of my upbringing, and most people here just don't. When I was commercially making sandwiches it's nessesary to have a fat based moisture barrier. I have a couple buttie videos coming so, stay tuned for that.
