Branston pickle at Tops no longer available?

[kwak250]

So for years I have bought branston pickle online and recently been buying it at a local Tops supermarket 

Now I see it is no longer available?

It was 160baht a jar

I used to order online for about 240 Inc postage from lazada

Has it now finished in all tops as I went to another one in Hua hin and no luck.

It's not much more but had one broken in the post before and easier to pick a couple of jars locally.

Over the years, there have been many times when western products were out of stock.  Sometimes, it was for a few months.  Other times, they didn't come back.  Pickles were hit and miss.  I always stocked up on sweet pickle relish when it was in stock.  (Which probably made me part of the problem)

 

Never tried Branston Pickle.  What do you use it on?  Sure looks good in the photos on the Bing search.

I have all the pickle that was left in Thailand, I brought this subject up months ago, The last Branston available was only small chunk, I got 2, then the last one, Heinz Ploughman's Pickle (just as good if not better), I also brought the last one at whopping 304b delivered. I love my Cheese sandwich with pickle for lunch nearly everyday.  It first started disappearing first from Big C.

I was referring to Branston's piccalilli. pickle is out of stock. 

   I am holding a jar of Branston pickle hostage and demand a 5,000b ransom to be paid in unmarked notes. I will leave further instructions.

I think you're thinking of Marmite.

[brianthainess]

How do you open the jar ? I have 2 methods, I find them impossible to open with normal hands, my method 1; turn upside down in a small bowl of hot water, covering just above the lid, then twist off, failing that, 2; do like a karate chop, with the back of a meat cleaver to the lid.     🥋 🔪

If you can't open them give them to your wife to open.

Failing that knife under the lid

Even my wife can't open them, knife under lid I worry the glass may break, However my Daughter who was over on a visit, with huge Muscles, just twisted the lid off with no effort.  💪🏻

Very simple, end of a spoon or fork and give a little twist under the rim of the lid, it is just air pressure that needs to be released.
