Father’s Day gifts can be tricky. Do we go for comedy with something zany, or should we be more practical; socks, ties, a t shirt perhaps?
I personally would always prefer something that spoke to my inner foodie, rather than my inner clown, which is why I was so delighted to try Tracklements condiments. Gifts for the foodie can be expensive, or if reasonably priced then the product is tiny but not in this case.
Coming in an optional presentation box, you can give the gift of great taste this Father’s Day with a selection of bold British condiments designed to elevate every meal.
Tracklements Strong Horseradish Cream is one of those foods that I rarely think to buy for myself, but love receiving as a treat. This Horseradish sauce certainly packs a punch and brightens up any sandwich or salad.
The Particularly British Piccalilli reminds me of my childhood, and in particular, my mother making homemade Piccalilli in our kitchen. Tracklements version is easily the closest to her recipe that I have tried. Fresh al dente vegetables in a tangy yellow sauce, great as an accompaniment, but I also love it on a teaspoon, straight from the jar. Don’t judge me.
Most, if not all Dads, would love Tracklements Proper Tomato Ketchup. It has that fresher taste and doesn’t have that vinegary aftertaste of some more commercial better known brands. Proper Tomato Sauce does exactly as you might expect, perking up the Burger and indeed the fries. Again, please no judgement.
I am something of a mustard aficionado and have yet to meet a mustard that I didn’t enjoy. Traditionally, adding bite to sausages and even bacon, but also adding some zing to salad dressing and even mashed potato. I love all mustards from mild to eyewatering and Tracklements British Beer Mustard comes somewhere in between with a lasting heat in the mouth. However the true genius is to marry it with beer which has a subtle background taste and in addition to meats do try it with a strong cheddar.
Finally, Tracklements Fresh Chilli Jam is that clever balance of heat and sweet, creating a tense battle between the tastebuds.
Packed with some of the finest homegrown flavours, family-run Tracklements lovingly make an award-winning range of over 50 planet-friendly condiments in the heart of Wiltshire. This special edition collection includes one of each of the above.
Happy Father’s Day and if you happen to be the lucky recipient of such a gift – you’re welcome
