Delicious. Also put it on some supermarket-grade sushi today to liven it up a little
...Supermarket sushi=pure evil. The rice is terrible as is the general ingredients.
YUCK.

OT: Branston Pickle is stinky. I haven't tried it, but I smelt it and it stank pretty good.

Never had it, nor do I wish to try it.

I'm assuming it taste something like pickles and I hate pickles, so I won't be eating it.

I was going to try it after I watched Yahtzee's No More Heroes review, but it slipped my mind and never got back in. Thanks for the reminder.

Eh. Pickles don't usually interest me at all, so I doubt the Branston-clan would do anything different for me.

Branston isn't really pickle in the American sense of the word - it's more of a chutney that reminds me of vegetables marinated in Worcestershire sauce, although not quite as strong.

I ate it with some pulled pork tonight, and I'm happy to report that it was pretty tasty.

It is approximately the best thing in the world. I honestly wouldn't want to live in a country where it's hard to find, there is no such thing as a savoury sandwich without it. Also, it can't be an alternative brand - no imitation tastes quite right, Branston is the rightful king.

Yeah, supermarket sushi is basically the Antichrist. But when I'm desperate for a fix, I turn to it. It's sort of like sucking leftover heroin out of your carpet with a Whataburger straw.

Branstons good - the one with the smaller chunks is best though - spreads on your sandwich better. Piccalili is the don though - ZP can't handle the piccalili, but then he's a woos thats mostly wrong...

In smaller amounts, it's pretty good to me. Only had it on cold cheese and bread though; I'd imagine it'd be better on grilled cheese.

Oh bleah, I just read that wikipedia link - it's sweet? Heresy!

Seriously though, sweet pickle relish is practically the ultimate betrayal: it looks exactly like ordinary pickle relish (which is freaking delicious), but if you make the mistake of putting it on your hotdog/sausage/whatever by mistake, you discover it is exactly not the flavor you ever wanted on whatever it was you just put it on. Can't spit the stuff out fast enough!

Of course I have this thing where I think that foods not explicitly designed to be desert products should never be sweet (at best they can be tangy, but sweet is right out), but still, there is just no excuse for sweet pickles.

Branston Pickle therefore sounds like an unbelievably nasty thing to put on a sandwich - I will stick to putting pure horseradish on mine (so delicious!).
