Soo good, I always got this at school, I will have to thank our chefs for this one. This only tastes good cold, so I wouldn't recommend trying to heat it up

This is one heavenly sandwich! I used a hard roll schmeered with butter, plenty of branston pickle and some sharp cheddar. I do prefer these at room temperature best, all the flavors meld together. Please pay heed to the chef....this must only be made with Branston pickle, it is NOTHING like a cucumber pickle, dill or sweet. It is more a relish. than anything really, but not a pickle relish. This really is a must try British sandwich.....

    I saw this sandwich while passing through London's Heathrow airport. When I got home, I bought a bottle in our local UK goods store. I liked it, but I bet I'll love it melted! To me BP tastes a lot like English Brown Sauce, only with vegetable chunks.

    Branston Pickle is sweet and spicy with a chutney-like consistency, containing small chunks of vegetables in a thick brown sticky sauce. It is commonly served as part of a ploughman's lunch, a common menu item in British pubs. It is also frequently combined with cheddar cheese in sandwiches, and most sandwich shops in the UK offer "cheese and pickle" as an option. It is available in the standard 'chunky' version, though there is also a 'sandwich' variety, where the vegetable chunks are smaller and easier to spread.

    I love Branston Pickle!!! As many have noted it is NOT an American pickle!!! Don't substitute the US stuff!!!! It is totally necessary for a ploughman's lunch...... Heinz in the UK makes a killer Poughman's Pickle too. I have a total love for Brit pickles... majorly exotic for our gringo palettes! T.J.
