Fish paste
Does anyone remember the various flavors of paste available in the UK? I'm talking about the stuff you would spread on a cream cracker....
After five years I'm craving this stuff. I tried to google but came up with nothing. I can't remember the brand.
Is there an equivalent readily available?

I miss all the veggie spreads you can get in the UK, I used to use them for sandwiches. Here it's cheese or peanut butter.

Princes, that's it. Have you found anything similar in the local grocery store?

Mmmm I used to love that stuff. I even brought a few jars back in my luggage on my last trip. I got it at Tesco.

Re: Fish paste
I went to Big Lots and bought Jacobs crackers for 1.50 a pack and it brought back a lot of memories.
So far only cheese on them, but I remember my mom making them with paste on....

Re: Fish paste
Don't know if you can get it out of New England, but I've seen it around MA....Duck Trap...they make awesome fish paste and smoke salmon.
Small place up in Maine that makes it.
