I don't use it very often but every now and then I have a hankering for a cheese and pickle sandwich.

Even rarer, I might buy a fresh, crusty bagguette, and get some cold cuts: ham, salami, roast chicken etc, along with some cheddar, brie and Danish blue, and make a glutton of myself with a nice bottle of red to wash it alll down. But all this is completely useless without my precious Branston Pickle.

I used to get my supply in Villa in Bangkok, and as my visiting family just used up my last jar, I drove to BKK and rushed into Villa yesterday afternoon to stock up, only to find no sight nor smell of my beloved Branston.

Piccalli - yes; HP sauce - yes; mango chuntney - yes; pickled beetroot - yes; pickled gerkins - yes; ..... almost every sauce and pickle you could dream of - but no Branston. :D

There's none in Foodland, Carrefour or anywhere else I have searched. :o

Anyone know a source? (not sauce), coz I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms. :D

The "Cold Storage" supermarkets stock it...........the Cold Storage branches i use are located on Orchard Road, there is one in the basement of the big shopping mall "Takashimaya" (opposite the Marriott) and the other one is in the basement of one of the other shopping malls on Orchard road the same side of the road as the Marriott but heading towards city hall..........i cant remember the name of the mall its in though.

Something else Cold Storage stock is Cadburys Rum And Raisin(sp?) chocolate as well as the Fruit and Nut etc.............i know you can get it in Thailand but these bars are 340gm ones and only 100 baht.

They also stock corned beef Hormel brand at 100 baht a tin compared to 170 baht here.

Thanks for the quick reply

There is a cold Storage opposite my condo in Bukit Timah - I will have a look in there although I do have to go to "Takashimaya" to spend some vouchers soon as well.

Corned beef too -- may make some Corned Beef Hash but it seems too hot to eat it ;-)

Most Americans miss sour dill pickles.

Which are better Branston or dill?

Both are absolutely wonderful. :D

Please, let's not start this yank/limey bashing about food again.

We had enough of it a while back about who makes the best sandwiches.

Who bloody cares? :D

I had a nice little thread here about my Branston pickle and you want to start another transatlantic war - I can feel it in my bones. :o

Go ahead - I for one won't respond, and if it starts, I respectfully request that this thread is closed.

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm now fully stocked.

Mobi :D

Actually, you are wrong.

I am just curious about Branston pickles because I see you chaps talking about them so often.

Now, on the other hand, when it comes to sandwiches, I can't imagine anyone defending the British

ones! :D

:bah::bah::D

:bah::o:D

You just want to turn this thread into the great transatlantic pickle war of 2007. :D

And you've succeeded. :D

So - here we go then; which tastes better?

This pickle?

Or this pickle?

Vote with your mouth folks :bah:

Or.. if you have your own favourite pickle - feel free to add to the list.

If we're lucky, we'll succeed in making this the most pointless thread of the year so far... :o

I don't know about that Mobi. This thread was not exactly timeless. :D

I thought that was great thread from the Donz, Knife edge sort of stuff.

Did he make the call or?

did he get out of bed or not?

Dill or BP? Not even in the same league. :D

Glad to hear it was mission acclomplished, now who was the last person to say that?

Good Luck
