  • Here I eat a Branston Original Pickle on a cheese sandwich (as recommended on the jar). It's from the UK.
    I did no research or taste-testing before eating this. I'm just giving my honest impression while experiencing it for the first time.

    Fresh bread in the UK is bread that was baked that day not yesterday. In France proper bread goes stale by the afternoon and I am not joking.
    I love Branston's, but prefer the fine cut.

    Branston also pairs well with cold cuts of meat too.

  • @andrewlaw
    @andrewlaw Před 6 měsíci +17

    Why don't Americans put butter or margarine on bread in sandwiches? They always eat it dry which mystifies me. Branston is also available in small chunk pickle which is more saucy and now outsells the original larger chunk variety.

    • @Clovernoris
      @Clovernoris Před 2 měsíci +1

      In my experience, us Americans usually opt for mayo and yellow mustard on our sandwiches. People who eat dry sandwiches just don't know how to enjoy life, but I'd say its still more respectable than the folks who put ketchup on a cold cuts sandwich.

    • @hblanche
      @hblanche Před 2 měsíci +1

      I don't know of any Americans who eat a sandwich dry. I've tried butter before; I wasn't a fan but I think it depends on the type of sandwich. Butter is a must for a grilled cheese sandwich. Otherwise I prefer other condiments such as spicy mustard, mayonnaise and my favorite, horseradish sauce.

    Literally every time you bit into the sandwich I salivated with envy. Your bread looked so good. Come to the UK and get the good cheese for the Branston. I do put vinegar based condiments on everything and the list is very long as to how to incorporate vinegar into your life but Branston is a really good start.

    My husband was in the supermarket and a Canadian couple asked him where the Branston was, they saw some in his trolley, they told him back home they have a Brit friend who asked them to bring a jar back with them,but they were also addicted to it,I just hope customs in Canada let them in.😂I eat it with Bacon in a sandwich yum 😋 ,you can also get a smooth Branston which is nice ,love your bread ☺

    I enjoyed watching this.. thanks for making one of my favourite sandwiches. If you can get some aged Red Leicester in America to grate up, it's much better than the rubbery processed stuff; but mature Cheddar is an excellent choice as well. A good brown bread does well with this and should be spread with softened butter. You don't need too much pickle. I like it with a builder's tea. PG Tips and Yorkshire are nice and don't require a very particular set of skills to brew up.

      Sure -- it's a riff I worked out over COVID that's kinda somewhere between white bread and french bread.
      I make it in a Zojirushi bread machine on "white bread" mode. I'm sure it'll work similarly in another bread machine.
      Ingredients, in the order to add them to the machine:
      320g Water (room temp),
      62g Honey,
      26g Olive oil,
      560g Bread Flour (King Arthur Special Patent flour is ideal),
      8g Dry milk,
      10g Salt (I prefer granulated pink salt),
      36g Unsalted butter (room temp),
      6g rapid rise yeast
