Summary: Just enough crunch!
Comment: Unlike one uphappy reviewer, I was pleased to open my jar of Branston Original and discover that it was just as crunchy and just as flavorful as the last time I'd had a Ploughman's in a pub in the UK. I'd never had anything like it here in the US and was delighted with it on first acquaintance. It's a pungent explosion for the tastebuds and a nice crunch for the choppers, too. I will admit there is a bit more of the sauce-y stuff, in proportion to the crunch, than I like -- hence the four stars instead of five -- but on all other points, this pickle in a jar compares very favorably to what I recall having fresh. I've also ordered the Heinz Ploughman's pickle through Amazon -- not so much crunchy stuff, way too much "sauce," and not as good a flavor (blander) IMO. This Crosse and Blackwell comes in a good sized jar for the price and is well worth ordering.

Summary: Not crunchy = Not Branston
Comment: If you've ever had good, fresh Branston pickle in England, you know that the vegetables within are crisp and crunchy. Unfortunately the jars of Branston pickle that I was shipped contain disgustingly mushy vegetables. I am completely disappointed, and frustrated that I spent so much money getting three jars of this shipped, and also ruined a perfectly good cheese sandwich.

Summary: A little bit of England in a jar
Comment: My husband came over from the UK about ten years ago. When he first arrived here in the states there were very few companies importing at least from a retail product standpoint many of the things he missed. If you have never had "pickle" with very nice cheese and artisan bread you can not even begin to image what you are missing.

Editorial Reviews:

Branston original pickle has been made the same way since 1922. It contains an assortment of vegetables, apples, dates and malt vinegar. Branston pickles is the most popular pickle in England, and is a wonderful served with cheese or cold meats. Branston pickle is a must when you eat a "Ploughman's Lunch" in your local Pub.
