Not either Horrendous stomach bug - I put a duvet on the floor of the bathroom - Andrew was working away for a change. I had one baby in the shower and one in the other corner and got lots of saucepans and water and dettol and lay in there for nearly 24 hours with us all being sick. Horrible. In the end I called a Dr and they went and got lots of rehydration stuff for me and offered to take us into hospital but by then it was on the way out.

although until last week I have been pregnant or breast feeding since March 2004! Thats nuts isnt it.

It is a descendant of the diverse lines of chutney, the mother of all being mango chutney which, although heavenly on the palate, looks for all the world like diarrhoea.

I mean Branston's alright but it can't hold a candle to the king of chutneys . . . Lime Pickle . . .

No! Surely it is Branston that looks like diarrhoea?

That or you have something seriously wrong with your GI tract!

So what is Branston Pickles supposed to taste of? It tasted to me like a herd of multi-nationals had rolled over it.

Not sure if on Monday morning I'll enlighten the importer by asking for my money back or, more civically minded, remain silent.

It's awesome and it matters not a jot if you like it. Almost every Brit whinges how crap the Cadbury's is here, but I heard lots of Aussies saying the same in the UK! It's called personal taste....

I'm damned if I know, haven't tasted Branston for years!
As for the yellow shite, that was a deeply buried childhood scar until this evening!

Marmalade & cheddar rule OK!
