Branston Pickle....... crunchy, tangy, British to the core and can bring to life the blandest of foods and/or enhance some already good flavours. I have mine in cheese sandwiches, ham sandwiches, with cold turkey or chicken. You can buy the equivalent in other brands and it's usually cheaper and called "Sweet Pickle". With the credit crunch that might be tempting but not for me because this is one product where the known brand is far superior in taste and texture to its cheap imitators, so I'm sticking to it. It was first made by Cross & Blackwell as early as the 1920s but the brand was bought out by another company in ...  Read the complete review

In this hot summer weather I like to eat sandwiches instead of a hot cooked meal and they're an great food to take on a picnic to the park or the beach. I have a very weird taste in sandwiches as you will know if you've read my top 10 sandwiches review. Mostly I like my sandwiches to include ketchup but I do sometimes like something a bit different. I like to buy good quality pickle, normally either Tesco's or if I can afford it then Branston's I recently came across their small chunk pickle which seemed perfect as I have always thought it would be nicer to have smaller chunks. Branston is a really good quality company who have been around for about 90 years ...  Read the complete review

My sandwiches served in brown bread, i like my crusts chopped off, not to be posh but thats how i enjoy my sandwiches because i only end up ripping the crusts off for the birds anyways. Biting into the sandwich which contained a medium strengthed cheddar i ...  Read the complete review

A sandwich, salad or any meal really is often improved by the extra bits and pieces you add to it and Branston pickle has always been a real favourite of mine. A 360g jar of the small chunk pickle is currently one pound and thirteen pence on the Tesco website and all the packaging here, the glass jar and the metal lid are recyclable. I particularly enjoy this sweet pickle with small chunks in ham, chicken or beef sandwiches but it also fits well alongside coleslaw, potato salad and cheese in meals like a ploughmans' lunch. I know that often this will be added to baked potatoes as well or anything that appeals to you really. The small chunks in the ...  Read the complete review

**** Introduction **** Ever since I was a young child I can always remember loving Branston pickle, I would eat it in cheese sandwiches and on toast. When I left home I didn't really bother to but it as my money was very tight and pickle was the least of my concerns.
