Wow, what a relief... I was really starting to worry !! (note the irony in my tone of voice....)

in yesterdays scotsman newspaper,it said production would be back on line,in a few days,and branston pickles will be on the shelves for xmas. bryan.

Why would we have to import lard? For pastry use Trex or any type of soft marg - I use Tesco - makes melt-in-the-mouth pastry. As for Branstons since I began to make my Colonels Chutney some years ago - friends and relatives only buy Branston as a last resort! Ann

better get buying this week then lisa.whats this country coming toxxxxxx(:

No problem if the shops do not stock it before xmas, 2 weeks ago someone was selling a £1.29 jar of Branston for £150.00 on ebay, not bad profit. Also as stated lard is not being imported anymore so according to the papers there is a shortage of mince pies, puddings etc. Have not seen that yet our safeways is packed with them. Having said that you try and buy lard anywhere it has become impossible.

I make my own,,,fab,,!!

hoorah that has made my day.hopefully will be able to get a jar before christmasxxxx(:

Doesn't anyone like Piccalilli with their cheese as an alternative? I love branston too and coleslaw, ok not all together. I like to change around what I eat on my cheese sandwiches. Pat x

i like picallili but not on my cheese sandwich.bring out the branston!!!!xxxx(:

I like coleslaw too. Or my mothers homemade picalilli. Branstons the last resort

so do i .but prefer my beloved branstonxxxxx):

because we prepare ourselves if things happen like stocking up on things.could you imagine christmas without mince pies and cheese sandwiches without branston!xxxxx):

promises promises incidentally, what has cautious women got to do with shortages of branston and lard ? and speaking of a shortage of Lard... heard Mark Radcliffe on the radio the other night, I see he's devoid of lard now too lol

they have a more caring sensitive side.that is what you love about usxxxx(:

paul you are heading for slapped legs!!!!xxx(:

because women are wimps lol

why is it women are more cautious then men.my husband says that i am too over cautious on certain things and unfortunatly i do it in front of my daughter when she wants to do something and i can see danger or what can happen i am very reluctant to let her do itxxxx(:

i haven't bought branston for a while so wouldn't have known paul.asd for the news didn't see it.paul you'll see i'm right when the mince pies run out!!!xxxx(:

Lisa, where have you been ? this was on the news and in the papers weeks ago ! incidentally... the shops are full of mince pies, don't know what the fuss is about...

you never know we might all be rationed on certain things.it's ridiculous storing all the branston at one factory especially when this has happened.xxxx(:
