I haven't eaten Branston Pickle since finding a beetle in a jar :-S

I suppose, if it's in paste form, you wouldn't know about the extra 'protein' :-D

Smooth Branston came out some years ago ......... I remember a bit of a fuss over here when it was the only one on the grocery shelves.

Apparently they were thinking of putting it into a tube to be squeezed out :-0 :-|

He can show what he likes in the kitchen.

He is not, however, entitled to buy Branston with no chunks.

Surely, as a chef, he's entitled to show some versatility, in the kitchen?
