Default Branston Pickle

I know branston pickle is one of the most favourite imports for English Stores in the US so I thought maybe you would like to know they are predicting a world wide shortage of it after their factory burned down. I had asked my parents to pick me some up so they could bring it over with them in Dec (this was a few days before the news) they went shopping yesterday and their local ASDA store has already had their shelves cleaned out. So anyone that is fond of a bit of pickle on your cheese you may want to stock up.

here is a link to the story

Hi,
I just bought the last jar of Branston Pickle on the shelf of a Celtic store in Bethlehem PA. It cost me $4.60..............OUCH. Thanks for the tip. I guess I'd better start rationing it. I just need some decent cheese now.

Just for the record. The same store sells Crunchies,Twirls,Turkish Delights and Polos etc for $1.50 each.
