A Relish for a real Gent

Gentleman's Relish is still made to the highly secret recipe first formulated in 1828 by John Osborn. The recipe is a closely guarded secret, known only to one employee of the company at any one time.
Surely for a true taste of England, there can't be many homelier tastes than that of Gentleman's Relish spread thinly on freshly buttered toast perhaps with a slice or two of cucumber. With its distinct salty fishy taste it is maybe an acquired taste, but one we love.
If you are feeling adventurous why not try a little Gentleman's Relish mixed into scrambled eggs. Find yourself enjoying Patum Peperium? Why not give Poachers Relish a try; made with Smoked Salmon and Lemon zest.
