Heinz Piccalilli

[Grassland Blue]

Nestle chocolate compared to Duncans (later Rowntree Mackintosh) is chalk to cheese. Different product, like the Cadbury's flakes made in Egypt. Still, if you've known only the later stuff it's understandable to make facile remarks about rebadging.

It's just the same with beer.
Badged ones bearing little or no resemblence to the initial styles/flavour.

Is it Brexit's fault?

That vegetable salad was utterly disgraceful.

What happened to Sandwich Spread? I used to love that.

Still available as of last week anyway

Other brands are available.

Inferior substitutes and nothing resembling Andrews (Enos is a different formula with a nasty taste) current price for the original is £35 on Amazon!

A simplified Salade Russe - delicious - if you're opposed tinned goods in principle tho.....

Beans. Baked. Yes. Tomatoes. Yes. Salad? Fuck no.

You never know - if you'd actually tried it - Goblin puddings are in a tin and utterly disgusting, so you see I'm not biased either

It's all well and good getting misty eyes about these items but who has had any of them in the last 20, 30, 40 years ??

We bought some Heinz Piccalilly last week and Andrews Liver Salts last month

Funny how brands work. I exclusively bought Heinz Beans. Brought up on them as a kid, ate nothing else to the age of 45. Then they racked up the price due after COVID, so I switched to own brand / value.

After three I treat myself to a couple of tins of Heinz this week... hated them. Eurgh. Not right at all.

It's like my entire life was a lie or something.
