Branston pickle...!

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! Grin

Mixed into mashed potato and then fried with bacon bits!

with peanut butter... In a sandwich, on ryvita, on a spoon!

I like tomato ketchup with shepherds pie 😁👍

Graphista · 03/04/2017 20:54

Pickle is yum with both of those.

That said I recommend salad cream on either too (but not with pickle at same time too much vinegar).

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

I LOVE that my Branston habit makes me eccentric! If you could see me here in my frumpy onesie and fluffy bedsocks resplencance you'd see how ironic it is! I'll take that branston eccentricity any day!

Mmmmm mixed to mash and fried does sound good.

ALemonyPea · 03/04/2017 21:13

Mmmmm that sounds so good. I need to try branston on cauliflower cheese RIGHT NOW.

McPie · 03/04/2017 21:18

I prefer the Tesco version and eat it with most things but with scrambled egg being my favourite combo! Even the thought of it makes my mouth water.

Oysterbabe · 03/04/2017 21:18

I love a side salad with most foods and you can always put it on a salad.
Shepherd's pie, cauli cheese and salad then yes. Without the salad then no.

I can't eat roast potatoes without Branston Pickle Smile

BaliBound · 03/04/2017 21:22

Jacket potato,cheese beans and branston pickle. Food of the gods!

DH's special is a banana and branston sandwich, possibly with crisps

Jumpolining · 05/04/2017 19:04

Well, I've just eaten my cottage pie with BP... delish! Thanks OP!

Ploughman's lunch

pinkieandperkie · 05/04/2017 19:21

It's really good inside a fish finger sandwich.

I fear for society after reading some of the comments on this thread.

Bananas and Branston: first sign of the Apocalypse

Did you have cauliflower cheese with shepherds pie? I'm more concerned about that than branston pickle!

AdaColeman · 05/04/2017 22:56

No wonder civilization is beginning to crumble when you are all eating Branston Pickle with the WRONG things. Shock

oatlybaristasista · 23/12/2017 22:25

Roast potatoes

ClaryFray · 23/12/2017 22:28

Ive just sent DP to the shop for cheese, so I can have a cheese and pickle sarnie :)

Ohyesiam · 23/12/2017 22:47

Him. Ive never tried it with shepherd s pie. But that is only because I lack imagination. Now you've suggested it i will defo try it.
The next one I cook is likely to be a turkey version.

KenTheTrucker · 23/12/2017 23:56

Bangers and mash with Branston. Awesome. Original, not the wimpy little tiny chunks nonsense.

Floellabumbags · 24/12/2017 00:18

Branston with cauliflower cheese is genius.

I like it with baked beans and cheese.

When I'm feeling sophisticated I dip mini cheddars in it.

GinIsIn · 24/12/2017 00:22

If you need branston pickle on it you are making your cottage pie wrong!
