no branston for christmas is that true

We bought a big jar on Friday that will hopefully see us through until then, but if we can't get any in for the festive period, I don't what we'll do.

Christmas just won't be the same.

I adore the stuff. I eat it neat, straight from the jar!

Lovely stuff.

So they say - but I bought some in Sainsbury's today, and there seemed to be plenty!

people selling it on e:bay for daft money so go and buy all you canget and flog it on there lol!!

Hey, that's a good rumour to start the panic buying!

Maybe not, It happened to Mars' Twixes a few years back. Big fire in one of the ovens. No twixes in the shops for months.

I see, you would have thought that a company with the distribution of Branston would have had more than one factory :confused:

Is it only available in england? or do the Italians and French enjoy it with their cuisine too?

Seems to be true though:

You could try making your own:

No lard, no pickle, what's happening to this country? :o

Looking on yahoo seems to suggest that its a british thing as there are a number of sites offering to ship it to ex-pats.

Abit off topic but during the same search came accross the anagram for Branston Pickle is 'Torn Black Penis' - Ouch!

Mat :thumbsup:

Sorry I'm with panda on this I can't stand the stuff but those of you that do like it have you tried some of the supermarket brand sweet pickles - not sure which one it is that does one now it's a while since we've bought any for obvious reasons but it might be worth a try.

It will be a rumour. Hendersons relish also start off the same rumour every year.

As far as Branston goes, keep it, I would rather lick my own a**e
