Crawfie Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I thought , after the great biscuit debate , I would start another row ...... For years now , it has been a tradition for my family to have this brand of pickled onions . They are the “dogs b’s “ of onions .... Christmas is not the same without them !!

Crawfie Posted October 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Well.....this is the bloody problem . Two brothers , two separate factories ...one now closed down . The last supplier cannot keep up with demand . Picked onion hunt every year !! They are a Devon product And as far as I know , only available around the Plymouth area now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Freer Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 As a new Devonian, and incipient smallholder, I can only wonder why you boys don’t make your own! It’s not hard, just tedious. You could try some pickled eggs as well whilst you’re in preserving mode! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Don't know about pickled onions . . . .short crust pastry mince pies, as made by SWMBO are a very firm must, as is her trifle, the standard alternative to Christmas pudding in our house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The village post master has only just started talking to me !! You don’t mess with pickled onions in Devon !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rod1883 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Pickled shallots using cider vinegar or malt vinegar with added chilli and peppercorns, almond pastry mince* pies, sausage rolls with rough puff pastry, all home made by Diana, plus sloe gin with sloes picked locally! Edit - home made mincemeat too for the last few years as we haven't been able to find shop bought (even expensive quality brands) that are Palm Oil free.
