I tend to avoid brands. Exception is tea.
I am a huge tea addict. And preferably Yorkshire tea. But I have never found a tollerable non brand tea.
Where as most brands I often prefer non branded stuff.
Ketchup is the biggest. I hate how sweet the branded stuff is a prefer the vinegar taste on cheap stuff.
I passionately support you in Yorkshire tea only I refuse to have other stuff in the house
I'll tolerate PG strong. More so when they had the pyramid bags as that really helped make tea stoner.
But for real builders tea. You need a yourkshire man.
Totes
Kerry gold butter!
Good choice, good butter revolutionises toast
Vimto. It's an autism thing. Brand doesn't really matter to me for any other products, but other mixed red fruit cordials are Wrong.
I tend not to stick to a brand, normally just whoever seems to have a half decent product.
Mostly it seems to be the extra special/taste the difference/No.1 branded stuff the supermarkets do.
(Which often comes off the same production lines with minor differences)
Any good finds?
We've started buying Robinson's squash, as I was finding the own brand squash to taste really weird. Even though it's a bit more expensive, the taste just seems more natural and, weirdly, has a smoother texture. Own brand (both Tesco & Sainsbury's) seems to make my mouth feel weird.
Also, De Cecco pasta. I thought pasta was just pasta, but damn I was wrong.
