There are lots of things that can be put down to personal taste, however I can't let this abomination go.

I am referring to Branston Smooth.

I love Branston Pickle, but I can't get on board with Branston paste. Is there a better example where a manufacturer made an updated version of a food that was objectively worse?

Oreos. Bourbons are superior in every way.

I really don't get Oreos. The biscuit doesn't taste of chocolate, and the paste just tastes of paste, making it worse than custard creams.

It just tastes "budget".

Thing is, Oreos were the better copy of the cookies that preceded them, Hydrox. And I love Oreos.

So now I just have to try some bourbons. What brands would you recommend?

I've been watching a lot of British comedy shows lately. I want to try a sausage roll too.

But not 'absolute casserole'. That sounds a bit disgusting and messy.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think bourbons are past the point of having separate brands any more. We eat so many of them (nationally, not personally), that 40p "Happy Shopper" bourbons are basically the same as £2 Marks and Spencer ones, and are probably made in the same factory.
