tac mentioned Branston Pickle in the “Ploughman’s Lunch” thread:

It’s the “pickle” in the bread, cheese, and pickle Ploughman’s Lunch.

But it’s so good, and so unusual (here in the US), that it deserves a thread of its own. None of my grocery stores have it, but I found it on Amazon for $8.44 per jar:

It would be a superb condiment for hotdogs. But also just by itself as a side dish. Some of it has the peculiar characteristic of being simultaneously soft, but crunchy.

About half way through my first jar I ordered two more jars. So good – highly recommended!

they have a lot of things there that are good. Piccalilli is another one that is sometimes seen with a ploughman's lunch, and so are pickled walnuts.

England gets ripped for its food, but they do have good food there.

We have Branston at home all the time. Besides as a necessary part of a Ploughmans Lunch, I like it on chess sammies, along with thin slices of real pickled onions. Goes well with all cheeses, anywhere. Find it on line, specialist English, Irish and Scottish shops and I have found it at Wegmans and Giant supermarkets, alongside Piccalilli mustard pickle. Also to be found in Ontario, Canada...

World Market Cost Plus carries it if you have one close

I have a jar in the fridge always with backup in the cabinet

I like the regular. Not very fond of the fine

Might have to try that one. My current favorite is Wickles Pickels.

We have a supermarket chain out of Rochester, NY called Wegmans that is big in the NE part of the US that carries it, along with Spotted Dick!
