Branston’s pickle, Colman’s mustard and Bisto gravy ..

Marmite
HP sauce
Colman's mustard
Heinz tomato soup

My dad used to like a drink of Bovril but I haven't seen that for years.

I confess I like salad cream, I've got a bottle in the fridge now.

Branston pickle - tick
heinz tomato - tick - no other will do
marmite - tick - again no other will do
hp sauce - tick - not used often but no other will do
birds custard powder - tick - but in the sachets you make up with water!
heinz tomato soup - i don't like tomato soup but their other soups are OK but I wouldn't buy other brand (same with baked beans - heinz are the best)
blancmange powder - tick - i get mine online from greenscakes.co.uk - they sell them individually and I usually have 3 of each flavour in my store
Hartley jellies - they still do them but not in all the flavours they used to
salad cream? I haven't bought that for years although I might as mayonnaise isn't quite the same in an egg and salad cream sandwich!

She just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwhich.
And she said "Do you come from a land down under?"

Vegemite’s Best

Birds custard is okay but I've always made my own custard from cornflour mixed with sugar and vanilla in milk .
I don't usually bother with the yellow food colouring .
The one product that I really miss and can't replicate is Panyan pickle.
Mayonnaise is so versatile.
I've never liked Heinz salad cream .
It' s over sweet.

*Fradders*, where did you find Heinz sandwich spread? I've been looking for it for ages.
I prefer salad cream to mayonnaise and always have a bottle in the fridge. I use Coleman's mustard both powder and ready made on a weekly basis, it's DH that eats the Branston pickle I have to be in the mood before I have it with anything. As for Birds custard powder, I just bought a new tin a couple of weeks ago.

I got it in Sainsbury’s.You can also order on the Heinz website.

Henderson’s Relish 👍
Real marmite 👍
Sainsburys Organic Mayonnaise 👍
Dijon or whole grain mustard 👍
Mini Gherkins 👍

None of the others mentioned

Late night snack - toast with peanut butter 100% peanuts S's own brand and honey.

Here in Sheffield we eschew Lee and Perrins in favour of the local wonder that is Henderson’s Relish. It is the stuff of legend here and, opinions will differ, but anything Lee and Perrins can do, Hendo’s can do better😉! Rumour has it that it is finding favour with a wider audience too, these days.

We always have a bottle of Lea & Perrins on the go to perk up mince and tatties!

I still use Heinz Salad Cream but am convinced it tastes more vinegary and watery than before. My friend says the manufacturers swore the recipe would stay the same. Mmm .. I wonder.

Like Falling Star but with Mayo, please.

tbh any brown sauce will do, but Branstons always tastes better than generic sandwich pickles.
DH buys expensive pickles in tiny jars from farmshop, & I try to eat them (he has one spoonful then ignores) but it's a relief when they're gone & I can eat my Branston again.

Coleman's mustard is in our cupboard, mayonnaise in our refrigerator. Nobody eats salad cream, here. I make tomato soup using tinned tomatoes.

I have also made tomato soup but for some reason it never quite tastes like Heinz.

Slimming World allege that their tomato soup tastes exactly like Heinz.
INGREDIENTS
2 tins of chopped tomatoes
1 tin of baked beans
4 small pickled onions (or one large one), chopped in half
1/2 pint vegetable stock
a pinch of salt & pepper
1 tsp Worcester sauce
1/2 tsp sweetener
INSTRUCTIONS
Put all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to boil.
As soon as the soup boils, reduce the heat to the lowest and allow to simmer.
Cover and leave for 15 mins to simmer gently.
Once cooled slightly, add to a blender and blitz until the mixture is completely smooth.
Can be kept in the fridge in a sealed container for up to one week.

My choices are similar to those already posted.

Heinz tomato soup
HP brown sauce
Heinz BBQ sauce (classic)
Heinz tomato ketchup
Kellogg's cornflakes
Bisto gravy granules
Yorkshire tea

We have tried supermarkets' own versions / cheaper brands of the above products, but, for us, the big name brands do taste the best. For other food items, we're happy to stay away from well known brands.

Heinz beans, as well as soup and ketchup, do have a flavour of their own. I do find the beans too sweet now.

Sweet picalilly.
Not sure how to spell it, but i sure know how to eat it

Branston pickle (I like the taste) and Colman's mustard powder- like ViceVersa I add it to all my cheese dishes, cheese sauces/cheese scones/cheese biscuits etc to enhance the flavour.

I rarely buy it nowadays, but when a particular recipe calls for either treacle or golden syrup - Lyles in a tin with the golden lion on the front.

Agree - it's got to be proper Marmite for me. In fact, I've just ordered two big tubs of it.

I think I got sandwhich spread from poundland.

Cucumber spread was a milder version.

Has anyone tried Stokes Tomato Sauce & Brown Sauce? They come in small bottles but are really delicious.

I go to a small local shop to get Bisto because they don’t have it in supermarkets. Ours is Gravox but it isn’t a patch on Bisto. I do have to pay twice as much for it , I suppose because of the import costs, but it is worth it. A little touch of my childhood ! I also like Robertsons ( or is it Robinsons?) mincemeat for mince pies.
