Canadian Tries Branston Pickle for the FIRST time

I found a Jar of Branston pickle in a small store, so I bought it not knowing what I would do with it. I checked the website and... apparently the company has few ideas on what you should do with it too, they suggest dumping out the jar and using it as a vase.

@@Paul-hl8yg that's just a folk tale, I heard it many times before, it explains where the English name came from. There's written evidence from the Mediterranean and middle east, of foods that are obviously sandwiches and they are much older than 17th Century. The origin of pizza was started as a sandwich over 2000 years ago as a way to bring food out to the field while working, it was Flatbread with pesto and cheese folded on itself and eaten cold.

[@Paul-hl8yg]

@@TalentlessCooking The folded pizza is a pasty, just because theres a filling does not make it a sandwich. A sandwich is two slices of bread with a filling. It is not a folk tale at all, it is the origins of the sandwich & why it is named so! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@Paul-hl8yg]

@@TalentlessCooking I'm going to back down on this one & agree that the name sandwich comes from the Earl of Sandwich. After many years of being told that was its origins, you tend to believe it. After a little research, I agree that earlier forms existed but just not named so. On the folded pizza, i will stick with what i stated, in that its a pasty. In England we have the Cornish pasty, which was 'invented' by the Cornish mothers/wives to give to the miners for lunch. It was meat/veggies encased in pastry, having a half moon shape. The crust was for holding the pasty with dirty hands & not eaten. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

@@TalentlessCooking My pleasure. Those beans are the best! And why is good quality cheddar so expensive in Canada?

[@TalentlessCooking]

@@bobbybigboyyes Great question! It has to do with our very strange and very old dairy farming laws. You can't open a new dairy, full stop. If a dairy closes, a new one can't be opened, so it becomes more restricted in our ability to produce. Also we have a dairy board that acts more like an organization for price fixing.

[@bobbybigboyyes]

@@TalentlessCooking That all sounds very outdated and strange. As time goes on you may end up with none! I follow a Canadian girl on KZbin 'Adventures and Naps' who has lived in the UK for several years. She is always saying how expensive cheese is in Canada, and how good our cheese is here and low priced. I live near Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, where cheddar cheese was invented and matured in it's caves. The best English cheddar in the world is 'Davidstow' which comes from Cornwall, birthplace of King Arthur. ( and yes, it has been proved that he was real from excavations at Tintagel Castle. ) I regularly send Davidstow out to my g/f in the US. At least Canada has not gone mental and back to the Dark Ages like the US with it's anti-abortion laws. They are as crazy as Putin.

It wasn't cheap but no more expensive than many of the 'brand name' mature cheddars, and then it just completely disappeared, pretty sure thanks to the beneficent EU regulators dictating trade to us at the time.

i love some branston, i let my buddy taste it, and he said its like a chunky less sweet/more savory generic American barbecue sauce and id agree with him

[@TalentlessCooking]

I'm not too into Barbecue sauce, it's smoky and usually has dried garlic, onion and yes too sweet. Branston is like a vegetable based condiment that makes so many foods better. Not sure I agree or disagree with you, but I did buy more Branston recently. lol

You have proper cheese there by the looks of it - it makes a world of difference. The Brits have their Ploughman's Sandwich, that'll make you smile if you make one. I'm sure you have some interesting choices but a mature crystallised cheddar will always be my favourite, it's a fun journey seeing how it changes the various ingredients we're already familiar with. Cheese on toast with a small dollop or like Marmite, mixed into a Bolognese meat sauce or gravy for some depth

[@TalentlessCooking]

I love marmite, had a marmite peanutbutter on a cheese bun this morning. I would love to find a christalized cheddar, I bet that would be amazing! I have an Irish roll video coming up, is that like a ploughman sandwich?

[@rickybuhl3176]

@@TalentlessCookingI'll have top let you know 😃 English can get lost in translation across the length of a bus route, let alone across t'pond. Even on something as simple as "Irish Roll". Plus the difference between how things were, when originally made at home or when they cost a quid at "Rose's Cafe" or any other Greasy Spoon (British diner) and became a staple that everyone made at home Vs some fancy finessed version now having to justify the tenner price tag. A ten dollar Sloppy Joe needs to earn it lol. That said, I've had bangers and mash at a Gary Rhodes restaurant and felt the need to tip, even with London prices.

The jar of Branston Pickle you're using is meant for having on a plate with meat or salad etc. You should be using 'Branston Small Chunk' pickle for a sandwich, which is exactly the same recipe/taste but has smaller chunks for spreading inside a sandwich.

[@TalentlessCooking]

I seen it on their website described as better for sandwiches, unfortunately in this part of Canada I can only reliably get the original.

@@redf7209 I assume you are talking about a product name. Plowmans lunch was a very old type of sandwich originating in the Mediterranean.

@@TalentlessCooking I think you can buy a 'ploughmans pickle' . In England there's a popular meal called a Ploughmans lunch that comes with pickle, and you can buy sandwiches based on that meal.

You do know that a pickle is a preserved vegetable in a jar using vinegar don’t you. You can’t, in English, call some random vegetable a “pickle” no matter what the US think! Pickling is a process normally used to preserve an excess of say pumpkin or tomatoes or apples and especially shallots or small onions in jars and they will last for more than a year. Pickled onions are sold in Chipotle Shops everywhere as an accompaniment to the chips as well as pickled eggs would you believe. In the UK we have another “pickle” in a jar similar to Branston Pickle that is some time traditional for Christmas called “Piccalilli” with things like (according to Google). cauliflower, onion, shallot, runner bean, carrot, courgette and gherkin, with the seasonings: flour, vinegar, ginger, garlic, coriander, mustard powder and turmeric. The turmeric gives it a yellow colour. Pickle shallots or more normally pickled onion is another traditional “pickle made for Christmas. The pre assembed and bagged pickling spices are on sale in many places around the Autumn (or Fall) as well as the Malt Vinegar we use.
