  • Here I eat a Branston Original Pickle on a cheese sandwich (as recommended on the jar). It's from the UK.
    I did no research or taste-testing before eating this. I'm just giving my honest impression while experiencing it for the first time.

    Why don't Americans put butter or margarine on bread in sandwiches? They always eat it dry which mystifies me. Branston is also available in small chunk pickle which is more saucy and now outsells the original larger chunk variety.

    • @Clovernoris
      @Clovernoris 6 месяцев назад +2

      In my experience, us Americans usually opt for mayo and yellow mustard on our sandwiches. People who eat dry sandwiches just don't know how to enjoy life, but I'd say its still more respectable than the folks who put ketchup on a cold cuts sandwich.

    • @hblanche
      @hblanche 6 месяцев назад +1

      I don't know of any Americans who eat a sandwich dry. I've tried butter before; I wasn't a fan but I think it depends on the type of sandwich. Butter is a must for a grilled cheese sandwich. Otherwise I prefer other condiments such as spicy mustard, mayonnaise and my favorite, horseradish sauce.

      US butter is nothing like UK butter. Their bread, if sold in Europe would have to be labelled as a some kind of cake due to the amount of suger that's in it. We go for quality whereas they go for quantity. There are many videos on here about the food comparisons and the chemicals they put in their food.

    • @matthewphoenix6372
      @matthewphoenix6372 28 дней назад

      My understanding is that most american butter is good for cooking but doesn't have much taste unless you go out of your way to find decent butter. This may be a result of the majority of US dairy cows not being pasture fed.

I do put vinegar based condiments on everything and the list is very long as to how to incorporate vinegar into your life but Branston is a really good start.

    I enjoyed watching this.. thanks for making one of my favourite sandwiches. If you can get some aged Red Leicester in America to grate up, it's much better than the rubbery processed stuff; but mature Cheddar is an excellent choice as well. A good brown bread does well with this and should be spread with softened butter. You don't need too much pickle. I like it with a builder's tea. PG Tips and Yorkshire are nice and don't require a very particular set of skills to brew up.

      62g Honey,
      26g Olive oil,
      560g Bread Flour (King Arthur Special Patent flour is ideal),
