Surging sales of salmon helped the UK to export a record amount of food and drink in the first quarter of 2017, the Food and Drink Federation has said. The industry group said sales of the fish leapt more than 50% by value - to £186.7m - and 13% by volume. British food and drink exports as a whole grew by 8.3% year-on-year to £4.9bn - the largest first quarter figure on record. FDF credited better promotion of UK goods abroad, and the weaker pound. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40090366UK's top 10 food and drink exports Whisky £895m Salmon £186m Chocolate £155m Cheese £145m Beer £139m Wine £133m Pork £109m Gin £108m Beef £106m Vegetables £97m |

To be honest though , Belhaven Best and the like are no bad considering You little tease you, will you please refrain from using such language. My self and the mrs are doing our best for Queen and country, HP sauce, Branston pickle, Colmans mustard, Cathedral cheese, Scottish salmon, Jacobs cream crackers, Roses lime marmalade. Get your export industry into overdrive, where are the Embassay Regals and Kensitas Club fags, wheres the Number 6s? New one for me,say a bottle of Bells, 499 baht for one litre, the label had a Union Jack on it which immediately raised my suspicions, on further examination, it was 40 percent and had a made in Scotland on it. The price is cheaper than the UK price, is this some cheapo Chinese knock off? |

^ rgs, I was brought up on English sauces - HP, Worcestershire Sauce, Cornwells Lancashire Relish, etc and used to buy the genuine articles imported from the UK when I went shopping at Rimping.
Found a sauce made in Thailand, with an orange label, a copy of above style sauces, very tasty and a fraction of the price of the UK stuff.

He is an infidel, an unbeliever, he eats vegimite. As for the secret sauce, aka chip shop curry sauce, best thing ever invented, got it in kilos in the house, and no way are you swamp dwellers and jungle clearers getting your hands on it. |

I have blue burger sauce the original from the Istanbul Kebab house now knocked down in Long Lane in the Borough in London. Its been in the freezer for 18 years but I'm sure its fine. Who will open the bidding? |
