Branston Pickle 520g

This is the classic british pickle which is great with crackers and cheese. I always keep a jar in the pantry.

Let me start by saying that I gave Branston Pickle 5 out of 5 stars because I couldn't choose 6 out of 5. You may think that this is pricey for a sandwich spread because it's more expensive than mustard. But that's like asking why a Ferrari costs more than a tricycle. You only think that because you don't know what sandwich spreads can be.If you ate Branston Pickle by itself, say, with a spoon, late at night, in your underwear, standing in front of my refrigerator, it would be pleasant but a bit salty. When you apply it to a well constructed sandwich though the Branston Pickle and the sandwich become something else entirely. The sandwich, and perhaps you, are transported to a magical land where flavors aren't just born on your tongue but bloom in your mind. The vegetable morsels of the spread provide a satisfying crunch as you work through your divinely inspired sandwich. The saltiness completes the lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise triumvirate that lays across the top of your sandwich. A gateway to enlightenment opens in your being. Angels sing. Unicorns whinny. Munchkins sing for you to follow the yellow brick road to Branstonville.Even though this item is for a stately 18 ounce jar you will find yourself aware of how easily it runs out. Once you eat a dose of Branston Pickle you will spend your days and nights dreaming of what other foods deserve its delicious blessing. You will happily try it on any and all foods available. That is good and just but be warned the jar is finite and every lovely sample puts you one bite closer to a home without Branston Pickle. Just know that here and now, with your cursor poised over the "Add to cart" button, you can delay the inevitable by first changing the quantity to 2. It will make your life that much better. Know that when you reach the bottom of that jar, your last jar of Branston Pickle, the only thing saltier than that amazing spread will be the warm tears rolling down your cheeks.Purchase wisely.

The product shipped was not checked prior to being shipped. The product was very well packed, with bubble wrap which makes it obvious the damage to the lid happened prior to it being packed. The damage broke the seal and was obvious when the package was opened as the smell was permeating the box. The quality and value are seriously lacking when you anticipate a product that you can not get locally only to find it unusable when it arrives.

If you like sour tangy things you will definitely like this. I use this on sandwiches with a medium cheddar cheese spread some of the pickle on the cheese and that's it the sandwich taste so good. Another favorite way is cheese and crackers with some of the pickle on top. Give it a try, there are different sizes start with the small and see if you like it, I'm sure you will!

Excellent taste. Not easily available locally, so mail order the way to go. If you order, check the contents upon arrival. I ordered 3 jars...poorly packed. When they arrived, 2 of the 3 jars had the edges of the lids jammed and dented, and the seal button was popped on the lid. I requested a refund and Amazon promptly did so. If they were better packed, this would have been a non-issue.But the product is excellent. Put it on pork. On sandwiches. Hey, I even eat it by the spoonful from the jar.....

The flavor of this product is exceptional. Sure spices up hot dogs and sandwiches. I'll be buying again for sure. Just wondering what else I can use it for. I'll be experimenting for sure.

So good with aged cheddar and a hunk of good bread. Just a little bit pricey.

Got a taste of Branston Pickle in a charcuterie dish at my fave Brit pub. When I saw it here the description mentions how it goes classically with cheddar cheese, and BAM! I ordered it! Even though it's the expensive way to go. It's basically a Brit chutney. The caramelized onion and sweet, vinegary flavour is unusual, but give it a chance with a slice of antique cheddar and a crust of bread. Makes an excellent midnight snack. Yummo!
