Branston pickle


This is a sight to warm the heart of a Staffordshire person. In the cupboard of a kitchen belonging to a small firm I was visiting, I noticed that the two jars with apparent pride of place were both Branston foods.

The famous pickle was first dreamt of, made, and named after the village of Branston in east Staffordshire - though, in fact, nowadays its production is elsewhere.

Staffordshire is equally famous for Marmite - which is made at nearby Burton.
