Soo good, I always got this at school, I will have to thank our chefs for this one. This only tastes good cold, so I wouldn't recommend trying to heat it up

TUNA AND BRANSTON PICKLE MELT
Yes, I know that it sounds vile, but try it--it really is quite yummy. Everybody that I have made try it agrees with me! For all of you non-Brits out there..Branston Pickle is a combination of various vegetables in very small chunks pickled in a sweet brown sauce,usually served with salads, cold meats or in sandwiches. It's typically English, but is definitely available here in Australia, so may well be in the U.S. If you ever see it, I recommend you try it, it's good stuff!!

NOT BRANSTON PICKLE RELISH (EASY AND DELICIOUS!)
I was drowning in zucchini last year and after looking at several of the Branston pickle recipes here, I came up with a pickle relish of my own. This recipe is in ratio form and can easily be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled. I often make it in a small batch and put it in the fridge where it keeps well for weeks at a time. It is awesome on sandwiches and meats (as a vegetarian, I love it on a veggie and cheese sandwich). I have also given it as gifts. Let me know if you like it too.

BRANSTON PICKLE
Branston Pickle is a UK favourite that is served in pubs as part of a Ploughman's Lunch. Although this tangy vegetable pickle has lots of ingredients, it is worth the effort. Tastes great with cheeses.
