Branston Pickles?

[sarahvait]

Sooooo...what's up with the Branston Pickles? I hear the product name in the Zero Punctuation reviews on occasion and was wondering what they were (You know, besides the obvious "They're pickles, duh" thing). I've never seen them before, but then again, I'm American and have never been out of the country. What makes them different from any other brand of pickles you get in a jar? Enlightenment, please.

Branston pickle is assorted veggies in some dodgy spicy sauce...it doesnt sound right but its bloody AWESOME. like mince pies are sweet and covered in sugar, ITS SUGARED MINCE MEAT!...see?

OOOOHHHHH....So, then I was thinking that it was a jar of just pickled cucumbers/gherkins (pickles), but it's actually a bunch of pickled foods. I've never heard cucumbers called gherkins before.

It's a vile, disgusting condiment that some people put on cheese sandwiches. I can't stand the sight of the stuff.

Try to reduce yatzhee threads ok?

Sorry, does that happen too much? I can't claim my naive newness to the site as an excuse much longer.
