Branston pickle.

[c c]

I see Branston pickle is back in the shops.
While it was in short supply we tried Baxter's Victorian Chutney and I have to say I rely like the stuff, can’t get enough in-fact.

Anybody else discovered a tasty alternative to Branston.

Agree with you on the Baxters - curiously there was a woman on R4 this lunchtime - runs a small St Helens based pickle business - demand from the major mults had rocketed over the past month due to Branstons fire.

But I can't bloody remember the business name (also began with a B ) - describing the tastes on the radio before lunch was making me ravenous!!

Its a South African chutney, you can get it from South African shops, and Sainsburys. Very fruity but nice. They also do a hot one.

If you're a rugby fan then try some on the walk from Twickenham station to the stadium, there's a south african stall selling boerwors and they always have plenty to slap on top! Mmmmmmmm.

DON'T I REPEAT DON'T buy Branston in the squeezy bottle. It's sh1te.

Get the original. There is no alternative.

Would that be 'Gentlemens relish', it really does smell like a Bogeymans whorehouse.

Its called Branston smooth, revolting stuff, apparently the pickle is shipped to Albania and chewed by peasants

Then again I much prefer the sandwich pickle. It is supposed to be the same but with smaller chunks.

In SA itself they do many other flavours, one being a tomato chutney - which i found particularly pleasing!

I second that. Great stuff - permanent fixture in our fridge. And it's your duty to eat boerwors on your way to Twickenham. God, I'm hungry now.
