Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Approximately how many jars of original Branston Pickle were sold annually in the world in 2006?

Answer: 28 million

That's a lot of pickle! This popular pickle has been made since 1922. Although the recipe is "secret", a good pickle should contain a mix of lightly cooked, crunchy vegetables in a sweet and tangy sauce. It should include cucumber, green tomatoes, onion, garlic, vinegar, coriander seed, allspice, cardamon and the piece de resistance - cinnamon.

2. Who was the original manufacturer of Branston Pickle?

Answer: Crosse & Blackwell

Crosse & Blackwell have existed, in one form or another, for over 300 years. Although it wasn't until the 1830's that the name Crosse & Blackwell was applied when Messrs Crosse & Blackwell purchased West & Wyatt and continued the tradition of producing savoury products. The brand has been purchased by Premier Foods in 2004 and then by Mizkan in 2013.

3. What was the world's first commercially bottled condiment?

Answer: Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

Lea & Perrins began bottling their sauce in the 1830's from their premises in Worcester, England. It was almost instantly a huge success.

4. What profession were Lea & Perrins - the manufacturers of Worcestershire sauce?

Answer: Chemists

It is rumoured that Worcester based chemists, Lea & Perrins were asked to recreate a sauce found in India by a Lord Sandys. They prepared a few gallons but it was found to be pretty repugnant and particularly smelly. The concoction was removed to the cellars and forgotten about for a few years. On its rediscovery, they decided to taste it and found it had matured into a delicious sauce.

The rest, as they say, is history.

5. When was the famous British brown sauce, HP, invented?

Answer: 1896

HP Sauce was invented either my a Nottingham grocer, Frederick Garton, or a local gambler who sold the recipe to Garton to clear his debts. HP stands for Houses of Parliament and has 71% of the British brown sauce market.

Answer: The Malay word "kechap" from the Chinese "ketsiap" meaning tomato sauce

Ketchup is basically made from boiled tomatoes seasoned with sugar, vinegar and cayenne pepper. Heinz Tomato Ketchup was launched in 1876.

8. What is the word used to describe the viscosity of ketchup?

Answer: Thixotropic
