Shropshire Blue & Branston Pickle - 8.8/10



Ingredients:

Fresh baked Farmhouse Multiseeded loaf hand cut into think slices
Shropshire Blue
Branston Pickle (Small Chunk)
Spinach, Rocket & Watercress Salad

Scores:

Cheese : 9.5/10 – Seriously good blue cheese similar to Stilton but coloured with Annatto and with a creamier texture. One of my personal favourites

Cheese/Bread : 8.5/10 – A hearty Granary style bread combining with a creamy yet tangy cheese will always be a winner in my book!

Cheese/Condiment : 9.5/10 – Blue cheese and Branston Pickle will always have a Ploughmans feel to it. This combination is very hard to beat

Build Quality : 8.5/10 - Thick slices and a soft texture kept the sandwich together

Overall Flavour : 8/10 – A fantastic sandwich marred only by the over enthusiastic use of the salad leaves. Whilst the peppery watercress added a welcome highlight there were simply too many leaves in this sandwich and it clearly suffered as a result. The classic blue cheese/pickle combination kept the score high nonetheless

Final Score : 8.8/10

  1. Do you come up with the sandwich ideas yourself or are you using recipes that have been pre-created?

  2. All my own work dude and generally made up as I'm walking round the shop at the moment but I think I'm gonna have to start thinking about them a bit more
