Branston pickle...!

[JustWhat]

Ok settle an argument please! DP and I disagree on whether or not I should be eating Branston pickle with my current meal. I have it and he says it doesn't go!

So...what do you eat Branston with?

I'm betting him that this meal is in the first 10 different responses. Don't let me down!

Cheese sandwich
Ham sandwich
Salads
Anything cold really
I don't think it's nice warm

Jacket potatoes and cheese

Monday night was always cold meat and chips with pickle when I was at home. Otherwise it goes with ploughman's.

Cold meat, cheese. I love Branston and would add it to most meals.

Beef burger - my sister started me off in her teens

Meatloaf, cheese, ham, any cold meat eg roast beef, pork, poultry.

Bloody hell, going to have to buy some now! Mmmmmm. Literally salivating!

Boxing Day turkey, pickled onions, cauliflower cheese, mashed potato.

I often eat it out the jar. When I'm not being a Branston Pickle weirdo however I'll have it with ploughman's, a fry up, any meal with chips, meat and salad dishes...Basically anything other than spag bol and curry

Mmm makes me think of one of my favourite poem by Mandy Coe

Go To Bed With a Cheese and Pickle Sandwich
It is life enhancing.
It doesn't chat you up.
You have to make it.

A cheese and pickle sandwich
is never disappointing.
You don't lie there thinking:
Am I too fat?
Too fertile?
Too insecure?

Your thoughts are clear,
your choices simple:
to cut it in half
or not to cut it in half,
how thin to slice the cheese
and where you should place the pickle.

From a cheese and pickle sandwich
you do not expect flowers,
poems and acts of adoration.
You expect what you get:
cheese... and pickle.

You want, you eat,
and afterwards you have eaten.
No lying awake resentful,
listening to it snore.

Safe snacks.
It comes recommended.

Cheese or cold meat. Definitely nothing hot.

Quiche

Cheese

Ham

Salad

Sausage

Hummus and crispbread. Branston transforms it to food of the gods.

Hmmm...it has KIND of been mentioned but he says he's won the argument! I had it with shepherds pie and cauliflower cheese! And mighty delicious it was too!

Ham or cheese sarnies

I'm with your DH, love it with chips and left over roast dinner

Nothing as it is the work of the Devil.

Branston Pickle on a poached egg and toast is to die for.

Nope. Your dh is correct. It does not go with either of those. At a push perhaps pickled cabbage with shepherds pie. But never Branston pickle.

But more worrying.... did you have cauliflower cheese with shepherds pie? Surely they are separate meals. Maybe just maybe cauliflower cheese as a side dish to a roast dinner in a Toby carvery type place. But never a side to shepherds pie and definitely not with Branston pickle.

Just so wrong

Yes that's wrong. Very wrong. Are you an eccentric sort or should we call a doctor?

Hmm, you have both won, I would not have pickle with shepherds pie but I WOULD have mayonnaise with it because mayonnaise is my go-to thing, as I suspect pickle is for you. So I sympathise with your craving, and your DP probably has one too, but technically most people prob wouldn't have pickle with shepherds pie.

adjusts arse on fence

I was gong to say I've just eaten it with steak pie I also eat it with shepherds pie.

I had some yesterday with a chicken dinner dont knock anything till you try it. Dh eats it with shepherds pie.

I came on to say Shepherd's pie! DH swears by it. Mind you he eats branston on toast like you would eat jam.

Pickled beetroot with steakpie is the dogs doodahs it is so nice.
