The other night we were having our hash and dumplings and I thought how my daughter was missing out as she's 10 any refuses to try relish.

I suppose it looks pretty gross if you're not accomplished to the taste but I wondered in anyone in Sheffield on here dislikes it?

i can love it or hate it! my mate brought me some last time he came to visit and i have used most of it, i add it to soups & stews. I do not use it as a table sauce though just a cooking one.

I love it but I know that Muslims, gnomes and cross dessers hate it.
I'm not sure about jabberwocky.

Great with meat and 'tattie pie or in a stew.

Tends to spoil the taste of oysters washed down with a good vintage champagne.

Improves the taste of any native Welsh dish (wool, mud, seaweed etc.).

I tend to prefer the taste of all things in a pure state so additions are an anathema to me.

I wouldn't say that I don't like it, but it is nothing special, and far inferior to Lea and Perrins. People have some attachment to it because it is local which seems reasonable to me as it is good to buy local.

i love relish, i could eat it on anything, but you can't beat it on meat and tatty pie or hash

Word of advice KenH. If you see a wicker man being constructed in your garden, Run Man! Run!

Surely it's really just a matter of personal preference and taste? i much prefer Hendersons over Lea and Perrins, it could be i suppose what you are brought up with and used to.
Lea and Perrins is nice on cheese on toast though mmmm :D

When I'm at Shef Uni I often have to walk past the Hendersons Relish factory. You can really smell the relish, it's all good.

Lea and Perins is just plain wrong :hihi:

Used to take a case of Hendo's out to a mate in Spain who would drink it from the bottle!

Can't stand these Southern poofta chefs on TV referrring to Wur-ces-ter-shya sauce (L & Ps). Watered down version of Hendersons.

I think Hendersons are missing a major marketing opportunity here.

I don't dislike Hendersons but it does seem to lack much flavour. Overall I prefer Lee Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. It has more flavour and a bit more bite. Oh - and I was born and still live in Sheffield.

You can get Hendersons all over the place now so even Southerners can enjoy the delights of the stuff. :hihi: :hihi:

Agreed ! I can imagine my wife's reaction if I drowned her beeootiful meat and potato pie in that muck. :help:

People should learn how to make tasty gravy ;)

Born in Rovvrem but lived in Sheffield for almost 30 years. Im not keen. I could eat it if I had to but I like food without it. It upsets me when I spend ages making a corned beef pie for my partner and he smothers it in relish. All that time and effort with the pastry ...

Just remembered. I used to work for the council and first time in the canteen for fish and chips, I reached for the vinegar bottle and this strange brown stuff came out. One ruined fish. They used to put it in the vinegar bottles on the tables, unlabelled. How was I to know?

Poor relation to L&P in my opinion....
That said, give me horseradish sauce or relish any day of the week...

No! Really? That's just plain wrong :lol: .

Liking Henderson's is built into the DNA of all Sheffielders. If you don't like it, then you're a mutant, literally :D .

Start buyng ready made shortcrust pastry Yellowrose. It takes all the effort out of mixing flour, fat and water. Then probably you just love making it. It might be that your corned beef pie filling needs something to liven it up. Why not buy some stewing steak, some kidney and use a bit more seasoning then your OH wouldn't need to put relish or anything else on your culinary creations. :D :D :D
