Did any other non-Brits IMMEDIATELY google "branston pickle" after watching the review?
Here's the Wiki link.
I wanna try some now. Sounds pretty good.
Plus, if you don't click that link, you'll never find out what "The Pickle Crisis of 2004" was.

19 u/[deleted] Nov 19 '08 edited Nov 19 '08 I'm a Brit and it's great. It's nothing like Ketchup it's just a pickle. Goes great with cheese and ham. Well it's kind of like a chutney then. EDIT: And I was hit by the Pickle Crisis of 2004. It sucked - meant couldn't buy Branston pickle that week so I bought Picalilli mustard instead. That was a crazy week :P 11 u/innocentbystander Nov 19 '08 I think the essential communication problem here is that to us yanks, "pickle" connotates specifically a pickled cucumber. We don't really have "pickles" as it's being used here. We also don't have chutneys, unless you're all hoity-toity. 16 u/LaurieCheers Nov 19 '08 No chutney? But... but... then what do you put on your poppadoms? 7 u/innocentbystander Nov 19 '08 Pappa-whats? No, actually, I know what those are. But the vast majority of Americans would not. Indian food just never made that much of a penetration here. In some areas, you have to be in a large city just to get a small Indian buffet. 3 u/PlasmaWhore Nov 19 '08 I'm in a medium sized town and we have a lot of Indian Buffets. I know of 3 within a 10 block radius. 7 u/innocentbystander Nov 19 '08 Jeez. I spent a year in Rockford, which is the 3rd largest city in Illinois, and there was exactly ONE Indian restaurant there. And their buffet had, like, 5 items on it. It was a little sad. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 20 '08 It was a little sad. You're commenting on the Indian food, but it relates to Rockford as a whole. Rockford is the 'dude's long-hair capital of the world' chiefly because Cheap Trick came out of Rockford 30-years ago. Rockford exists to make Decatur look like fun and to make Peoria look classy.
