slight thread drift for UK catters - on the weekend I bought a jar of Pan Yan pickle from a 90 year old English-born jam-maker. She & her son raved about it & as I don't like jam but do like pickles I bought it & looked it up on google when I got home. I hadn't realised it was a lost product (taken off the market some years back & the only recipe lost in a fire, so eventually reconstructed by fans after a jar with label was found in a shed!) & a wonderful memory to many people. I've just tried a bit from the jar & it's sweeter than I thought it would be (DUH! pickle is not pickles!) & will make a delicious finish to my dinner with a spot of cheese. Maybe my Ash Brie, or my yummy Iberica cow, sheep & goat cheese ... sandra
