Mayonnaise and Branston Pickle

moggins

I've always used Tesco Value pickle as we get through so much of it but I had to get some stuff from Sainsburys the other day and picked up a jar of their Basics pickle. It was as good as Branston if not better as the chunks are slightly smaller and better to use for a sandwich. At 28p a jar I will definitely be buying that again.

I've not tried any of the basic ranges as I'm a bit fussy with pickle, and hate the rival one that's about, is it Pan-Yan or something, can't remember now, but it tastes too sweet. I don't buy it often though so don't mind paying the extra for Branston, usually buy a big jar at xmas and it lasts months as I go through phases of eating it

OK, I know that this is a very, very old thread to pull back, but I was searching for a Branston Pickle type recipe so I could have a bash at making my own (as I am just getting addicted to the stuff), and this thread came up.

Further up on this thread someone said that their breadmaker came with a Ploughmans bread recipe which used Branston, yet didn't share

Does anyone have this recipe? I really want to have a go!!

Why not involve karma and "pass it on"? If you believe, something better will come your way. Maybe Ben & Jerry's icecream or a 14oz steak? You can live in hope. Anyway, it's no loss what a friend gets, as my mother used to say.

Sounds like something I'd like to try (though I'd have to buy pickle!)

Pickled onions are nice in casseroles too.

Mayo apparently is a great cure for headlice. Rub it into the hair and comb the little blighters out, they just slip away. Ok, so little uns hair is greasy for a few days afterwards but it beats spending over a tenner on lotions and potions that stink and do not work.

Branston
do you have a blender/liquidizer? add a bit of water and turn into a spicy thick brown sauce...add to anything meaty you need to spice up in cooking

Also good (as sauce) to add to simple meals like beans on toast or to spread in a cheese toasty

This is making me hungry

Mayonaise; bin it ... WAIT I've just remembered I once had a lovely fish and potato pie that had been baked in the oven -the topping was mayonaise that had been used instead of a sauce.

Happy eating

Is this the thread you were looking for - Branston Pickle?

I would just follow your normal bread recipe and add a tablespoon or two of whatever you want to flavour it with whether it be branston or pesto
