...Cheese and Pickle...

...y'all know how I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE my detective shows...

...ONE of my current faves is Endeavour...he's the young Inspector Morse...so we know his name...

...and his DI is Fred Thursday...and he has a predictable lunch packed each day by his wife...and at one point they are in a pub...where it must be (have been maybe) common to take your own sammie...that would never happen here...but apparently they buy a beer/ale to go with their sandwich and that's ok...and he makes the comment that it's Wednesday so his sandwich must be 'Cheese and Pickle'...

...well...I thought that was an odd combo...so of course I did a little research...and it's quite a common part of a ploughman's lunch...
...and since our local Kroger has an extensive International Foods section...I didn't want to risk using just any ole American pickle...so I got Branston Pickle...
...and some Daiya sliced cheddar...and a nice homemade rye...
...and spread on some Branston Pickle...
...and there you have it...my Cheese and Pickle lunch...and since you can probably count on one hand the number of beers/ales I've drank in my entire life...I had mine with ginger ale...haha...
...it was delicious...and I'll definitely have it again...

...have you ever had a Cheese and Pickle sammie?...

~Have a lovely weekend!

  1. No, but I love cheese and jalapeƱo!

    I used to like those little prissy olive and cream cheese sandwiches....haven't had that in ages! Love. K

  2. Cheese and pickle is a very traditional sandwich filling here and my son and husband had some in Bognor Regis when we went charity shopping the other day.

    When I was a girl the pickle was usually home made chutney of some kind. It has to be said there was usually more chutney than cheese but it was always a favourite.

  3. Yes, I have eaten many cheese and pickle sandwiches! LOL! I haven't eaten many while vegan, but I must give it a try.

  4. I don't think I've ever eaten a cheese and pickle sandwich. Those Branson pickles look like jam/jelly. Were they sweet?

    Hi Penny,

    It's definitely sweet...but also a little bit Marmite-y...if you're familiar with that flavour...and more crunchy than your typical American relish...

    Have a lovely day!

  6. hi! it's been a long time since i've been around - (so much schoolwork!)

    we love dill pickles with cheddar cheese - just the two, or in a sandwich. such a yummy combo!

    (i must try some non-dairy cheese, now that i know dairy does not agree with my tummy. i'll have to use your blog for inspiration!)
