Gentlemen's Relish

[joggerjayne]

Does anyone eat this?

I've had some in my fridge for a few weeks, but not had any gentlemen over, obviously.

When the BF is here, I try to encourage him to behave not at all like a gentleman, he he ...

:0/

Anyway, I had a bit this evening. It is SO salty and anchovy-y ... !!

Who would eat it regularly??

[Spoonboy]

Someone without tastebuds! I like anchovies as much as I like marmite, yeuck!

[frugalfred]

Oo, saucy!

[joggerjayne]

It's like anchovy flavoured toothpaste.

[sandyRoe]

There's something fishy about the taste of the gentlemen from the early 19th Century who relished that.

[joggerjayne]

Well done, sandy.

[jno]

indeed, difficult to think why any gentleman would go near anything so redolent of fish.

[Caran]

I like anchovies and marmite.

[Mass_Hysteria]

Never had it, but then again I'm not a gentleman!

[joggerjayne]

It normally comes in little white plastic pots, called Patum something or other.

I have a huge china jar from Fortnums. Can't really remember why I bought it.

[Spoonboy]

You were hoping that the world was full of gentlemen!

[joggerjayne]

Possibly.

[FredPuli43]

Yes. Note the inscription on the jar. It reads something like "spread sparingly" ! Good advice. You can have too much salty anchovy, you know.

[FredPuli43]

Ah, the above, I've noticed, has come too late for Jayne !

[ummmm]

Men...pretending to be women....those types..

[FredPuli43]

Oh, and Jayne it's Gentleman's Relish, not Gentlemen's. You can only expect one of them, not several.

[seekeerz]

[lozzer50]

[woofgang]

[shoota]

Patum Peperium - I would have thought any gentleman would have known that.
