Patum Peperium The Gentleman's Relish 71 g

I love it. Worth the price as even this small pot goes a long way as just a meagre spread on buttered bread is needed. Often now seen in my sandwiches. Interestingly it seems to be more of a man thing than a taste for ladies (purely from my own family and work colleagues observance). Apparantly was originally sold as a delicacy in ceramic pots, but these have turned into white plastic look-alikes. Don't be deceived by the pot size - its got a rounded bottom! Intriguing thing to open though!

Arrived within 24 hours. I have eaten two helpings already ( on toast ) and thoroughly enjoyed. Just the right spreading consistency, and the taste - just as good as I remembered. I shall order some more. Val

Haven't seen this in local shops for ages, so pleased to see one seller able to sell a single tub, not 12 of them! This is a great product, and I am once more enjoying it , applied very sparingly on hot buttered toast. Highly recommended BTW why am I asked to rate it's Warmth? August 2024 bought another one, but disappointed to see the best by date as December 2024. That is a bit too short.

I knew my husband liked this but he hadn'nt eaten it for years. Well does he love it, an old favourite, old he may be [ my husband], but I have today received my third order. It is a VERY specialsed taste [like Marmite]

Nothing takes you back in quite the same way as taste and smell. I loved this gorgeous relish right from Childhood (I'm in my sixties) This excellent treat with good toast and a cup of tea throws me right back to my youth. A real treat.

This is not what I expected, but may suit others

This product is more Marmite than Marmite! You either love it or don’t. I was introduced to it by my late father and have always been hooked. Getting hard to find in the shops so thank goodness for Amazon. By the way , the portion is tiny as the little tub has a false bottom. But it was always thus..

Great on hot toast. The taste? Powerful, bit salty perhaps. Its like marmite in that you will either love it or hate it.

The taste!

Can be used instead of blusher.

I've read perhaps 500 English mysteries and novels (not counting the classics), some of which have referred to "Gentleman's relish". I seem to be particularly susceptible to the mention of foods mentioned in books I read and often have to jump up and eat something I have just read aboutor put it on my grocery list. (I'm not a tea drinker, though.) I've traveled a lot in England (including a 1,000 mile solo bicycle trip in the British Isles) and have had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, Ploughmen's lunches, Devon and Cornish cream teas, pickle-flavored crisps, full English breakfasts, Bakewell tarts, Cornish pasties, curries, black sausage, haggis, Stilton and a wide array of wonderful cheeses (try cheddar in Cheddar, England!) etc., but somehow have never come upon or had Gentleman's relish (is it only served in gentlemen's clubs?). So I ordered it from Amazon. Wow, it sure is anchovy-ish. I really like anchovies. When restaurants still served anchovies on Caesar salads, I always was the one who eagerly volunteered to take the anchovies from the salads of everyone who didn't like them. And - on the rare occasions when I see them on the menu - I often order an anchovy pizza (to the inevitable "Ewwww" from the server.) But you sure do have to like anchovies to like Gentleman's relish! It's very strong but very good. It's a small container but only a little bit is needed. My only disappointment is that the directions say that it will keep for six weeks when refrigerated and since there's no-one else to help me eat it (they all also say "ewwwww!), I won't be able to finish it. (How does one ever tell if anchovies are spoiled!) I think one is supposed to eat it on buttered toast. My grocery store has what it calls "English toasting bread" which isn't too bad, and I enjoy the paste on it.

Non saprei definire esattamente il sapore ma è piacevole, potrebbe essere simile alla pasta di acciughe ma più speziato, all'inizio non mi piaceva molto,ma ora che sono verso la fine della confezione, probabilmente lo ricompreró. Il suo uso principale è spalmato molto molto sottile sui crackers,meglio ancora su una fetta di pane caldo appena tostato, buono anche spalmato sul pane tostato assieme al Philadelphia,da provare se siete amanti delle acciughe.
