re British spread

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

Many years ago when I lived with my Granny (I was a child then),

she had a spread she got from the UK that she said a lot of people liked

there.

I finally remembered the name! It was " Gentleman's Relish " .

Its not vegetarian though since it has anchovies in it.

 

Here is some information about the spread (this site has recipes)

http://www.elsenham.com/patum.htm

 

" Patum Peperium was invented in 1828 by an Englishman called John

Osborn. The original " Gentleman's Relish " made from a blend of

anchovies, butter,exotic herbs and spices. This classic recipe has

remained a secret over the years, passed down through generations by

word of mouth. Today, this delicacy is only made at Elsenham where the

original recipe is still in use. "

 

Kind regards,
