Branston Pickle Reviews

Branston Original pickle has been around since I can remember, this used to come in one sort only but is now available in an array of different versions. This is a pickle which is maily used to add to salds or meats or cheese. The look? This is always pretty much cut into cubes, sometimes these may be small but I will review ...  Read the complete review

I've been away from Branston pickle for quite a while, having recently been trying other chutneys such as onion chutney and tomato relish. And nice as they've been I was missing that distinctive 'tang' that only Branston can give. So on the last online shop, I popped a jar into my virtual basket and it arrived last week. I got a big ...  Read the complete review

If you have never had this before it can be a daunting experience. I have given it to foreigners that have never tried anything like it and they are bemused at first. Its a horrible dark colour, has a sweet vinegar like smell, and the 'bits' in the juice are vegetables like carrots, swede, onions, cauliflower, marrows and gherkins. I'm ...  Read the complete review

Branston Pickle is a staple that I must have in my fridge at all times! It tastes amazing and can turn a simple cheese sandwich into an amazing lunch (really good for the week before payday). Be sure to buy 'branston' though - other brands just arent the same. This product has a very distinct pickley (as you might expect) taste, ...  Read the complete review

We love Branston Pickle in this house, particularly my son, who would probably have a sandwich with just the pickle and forget the ham if he could. Branston Pickle is a chutney which has Carrots, Rutabaga, Onions, Cauliflower, Marrows and Gherkins in it. Now I hate marrow and gherkins and swede (Rutabga) as a rule, and have never eaten ...  Read the complete review

Branston pickle in my house is a firm favourite and we always have a jar in the fridge! We all love it and only purchase this brand of pickle as in our view nothing else competes with it in our opinion and I have in the past tried a few cheaper alternatives that left me rather unimpressed! The Packaging.... Glass jar with a ...  Read the complete review

For the past few weeks I've been having ham and pickle sandwiches for lunch, with Sainsbury's own pickle. Well, yesterday it ran out, and I happened to be in Tesco so I picked up their own, but then Branston looked at me, and I had to check something. The thing I wanted to check was the sugar content - I am on a diet (have lost over 2 ...  Read the complete review

I usually stick to shop brands but I sent my hubby shopping today and he came back with a jar of this. I was a little miffted as to why he would pay three times as much for something but when I questioned him he informed me that this pickle had much less sugar in it than the cheaper version that I usually buy. Infact he went onto say that he may ...  Read the complete review

" You never appreciate something until its gone" That is a phrase that rings true with this product, sounds a little dramatic I know but bear with me. Now I live in the United States the things I took for granted are hard to get sometimes, one such thing is Branston Pickle, something that I would use liberally during my childhood ...  Read the complete review

Branston Pickle is a delicious, sweet and slightly spicy relish, which has a thick chutney-like consistency to it. The thick brown sweetish sauce has various diced-size vegetables in it containing such vegetables as carrots, onions, cauliflower, gherkins and rutabaga. I often wondered what 'rutabaga' was but I found out that it was just a rather ...  Read the complete review

In 1922 in the small town of Branston nr Burton on Trent England a Company called Crosse and Blackwell created something really special. They took some vegetables namely........onions, carrots, cauliflower, tomato marrow, garlic and chopped them into about 1/4 inch cubes. Nothing special here I hear you say and at this point you are correct. ...  Read the complete review

I was something of a pickle monkey in my younger days, always keen to embellish a cold plate of stodge with a dollop of something warm and spicy. I think it was a habit I picked up from regular late-night visits to the chip shops of Edinburgh where there were always large (and dusty) jars of pickled something-or-others on the counter, eggs or ...  Read the complete review

Branston Pickle is the King of pickled condiments. No larder should be without some. It comprises of small pieces of cauliflower, gherkins, onions, carrot and marrow in a tangy sauce. (Actually i do not think that Branstons emphasise enough the number of vegetables in this product. Surely it must count towards your five a day - I'm ...  Read the complete review

Oh yes this is a great British Classic in my view and a must have. I'm sure those of us who love it will know that it has always been a great accompaniment for a plain old cheese sandwich but something that sandwich counters have never really latched onto, as I remember recently asking for a cheese and pickle sandwich thinking that it ...  Read the complete review

Last Christmas, we were stocking up on all the somehow essentials such as pickled onion, cheese and the like, when I remembered a smell. I always used to like the smell of something my father used to have in a sandwich, but I'd never eaten it. I mentioned it in the hopes of my lame dream of trying it being realised and it actually was, because ...  Read the complete review
