I learned of cheese and pickle sandwiches whilst watching an episode of Doc Martin. It's an interesting sandwich, but not a great one, as most Brit food is. I ordered Branston Pickle and Collier's Powerful Welsh Cheddar online and have eaten a few cold sandwiches as prescribed on various sites. Today, I made a panino with Country White bread and the other requisite ingredients, grilled on my little George Forman appliance, having coated both top and bottom with olive oil (the bread browns more quickly this way). I was much more pleased with this sandwich heated, and I highly recommend it in this manner! By the by, I think Dubliner White Cheddar is very similar to Collier's Powerful Welsh, and it's readily available at Costco.

I'm actually eating one of these as we speak. I'm watching my calorie intake, so I serve mine on reduced calorie multi-grain bread with a slice of extra sharp cheddar and some slices of raw onion. Delish-ous! A bit hard to find in the States, but most of the higher end grocery stores have them in their International Foods section. Smaller chunks are definitely easier to spread. -
I finally found Branston Pickle and a Double Cheddar cheese, made this up with a touch of mayo, on sourdough bread. Good . My mother in law is British and when she made a pork snadwich she always used the pickles in the mustard sauce by Heinz or Bicks, she cut up the pickles and cauliflower in smaller pieces, which is a sandwich I love also, both are made by Crosse and Blackwell, ( which both are now in our stores........ -
I'd never heard of Branston pickle but needed a picnic sandwich for my vegetarian sister. This is really flavorful and we all loved it!! I found Branston pickle at a local British store by looking on the Internet. It's like a vegetable chutney in sauce (think A1 but not exactly). Thanks so much for posting this one! -
This sandwich was fantastic! I used sourdough, sharp cheddar and 3 T of Branston Pickle. BP is so expensive here, but worth every penny! Thanks for posting! Made for Englands virtual culinary tour 09.

I lived in new zealand for 8 years of my life, now england for the past 8 years. I go to boarding school on the east coast of england. I have friends from all over the world, my best friend is canadian and also lived in france, so her mum and her for that fact, are mean chefs, boy do i like going to her house.
I recently found out I am intollerant to wheat so have found it difficult to give up such easy foods to find and now have to search harder. I also have 2 leaks in my heart, one on a valve going in and one on a valve going out. A top carteoligist from London told me as long as I don't get pregnant for a while (I should hope not, I'm only 15) or eat fatty foods, my heart would do allright. He said he didn't want to operate on me yet, beacause there is a operation coming in the next 10 years which is lazer, so he wants me to wait, but he said I was fit and healthy and had no need to worry, yet.......
when i was younger i dreamed of being a choreographer or a marine biolagist, then i wanted to work for vouge magazine, then get married and move to barbados and raise a family where the only thing that passes anyones lips will be home grown or hand made, a bit ambitious i know, hehe. But now my dream is to be a laywer and help others that really need it, and hopefully move back to my roots and bring up a family there
For lent i have given up refined sugars and it is so hard and i am only 3 days into it, i was starving at school, opened my tuk box only to find marshmallows and smarties and a box of cereal, i think cereal is about to become my best friend over the next 6 weeks. LOL
EDITED 30TH AUGUST; Last night at 3:30am, my best friend lost her battle to cancer and it has made me realise how important it is to live life to the full and take every opportunity thrown at us. She was a special girl and only 15 - wherever she is now though, she is out of her suffering. I have no doubt that she went straight to heaven. Lord rest your soul.
i also have a lot of favourite sayings, here are some of them
"shoot for the moon, even if you don't make it, you'll land amoung the stars"
"I'm on a seafood diet, see food and eat it"
"smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu, when someone smiled at me today, i started smiling too, i passed around the corner and someone saw me grin, when he smiled i realised, i'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile, then i realised it's worth, a single smile just like mine could pass around the earth. So if you feel a smile begin, don't leave undetected. Lets start an epedemic quick, and get the world infected!!!"
