Have it on toast for breakfast all the time at home, I just love the stuff.

Hot buttered toast. Nothing to match it.

That is the way to eat it, however it can be matched by potted shrimps with toast x

What's in it?

[chris.mapey]

Granary toast, thin scraping of Patum Peperium (Gentleman's Relish), top with sliced pears and crumble stilton on top, then grill.

Tasty, very tasty...

Anchovy

Bought some to try a while back....... Strange strange flavour

You can get it in most supermarkets mate. Lovely stuff.

Edit: DIdn't see the pic the first time round, just thought it was the usual patum peperium stuff.

Something a bit fishy about it?

Far too concentrated taste and smell. Mixed into something it could be useful..

Would rather just have anchovis on toast

[SVX]

It works surprisingly well as part of a marinade for roast leg of lamb.

I was thinking with bruschetta..... or home-made pizza.

(veggy OH you see)

Magic stuff, although it's very Marmite in that you'll love it or hate it.

I've got 2 variants, both Patum Pepperium ,one is termed Poacher's Relish, the other Angler's relish.

Former is based on salmon, the latter on smoked Mackerel. Not tried either before, so they will be getting a bashing over the season. I'me wondering if the Angler's will go well on toast along with a storming great cask strength Laphroaig.

I suspect any heavily peated malt would work. For strength, I'd try and hunt down a bottle of Port Charlotte 6.

This is not what I thought this thread would turn out to be when I read the words "Gentleman's relish".

All the same it still sounds rank.

Bruccladich remains the only Islay malt I've not tried aside the new distillery, Kilchoman? ....The problem with Brucc, is that they seems to do so many expressions, its hard to know where to start.

So i've not bothered to confuse myself. Having said that, PC sounds a very good shout, sadly it's over £60 ...so beyond what I'm prepared to pay for any whisky.

Haven't had it for years, my Dad always had it in the house, rathered liked it from what I can remember! Must get some.
