Shaws Devilish Chili & Tomato Relish - 300g

Relish is the supporting cast of a British lunch. It never gets top billing, but take it away from a ploughman's, a cheese toastie or the sandwich made from last night's roast and the whole thing falls a bit flat.

You can build a sandwich anywhere. What people in Canada go looking for is the taste of the one they remember: the pub lunch, the picnic on a damp bank holiday, the jar that always came out when the cheeseboard did. A chili and tomato relish with a bit of devil in it is exactly that sort of memory.

It comes in a 300g jar that sits happily in the cupboard until you open it. After that it belongs in the fridge, so check the lid for the details. Spoon it onto burgers, sausage rolls, cold meats or a slab of mature cheddar, or stir a little into a cheese toastie before it goes under the grill.

If this jar earns its place, it is worth looking along the rest of the chutney and relish shelf. People tend to pick it up alongside a strong cheddar, a pork pie and a packet of crackers, which is a lunch that needs no further planning.
