Redro and Pecks Anchovette are no longer – here’s where to get your final fish paste fix

That looks as if it is alive inside.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck...

I'm 45. I've always known this since a child. I thought it was common knowledge.

The clean knife only worked for me but I never bought the big bottle for fear of it going mouldy. Hopefully someone smart opens the factory again and I can try it.

It really works. After a month it starts to show signs.

Why is it gone?

 

[ponder]

Has anyone ever been able to finish a bottle of fish paste before it goes mouldy?

Yip.

 

[B-1]

Why is it gone?

Pioneer foods discontinued it but didnt say why so only old stock is/was available.

So, it's a local product?

I guess it's because there are too many snowflakes around now.

This happened right after Pioneer got bought out by PepsiCo Inc. USA. Blame the yanks for product consolidation.

This a a cruel thread necro. So many memories.

Ah, thanks. So there is a gap in the market to bring it back?

We had a few big bottles of Pecks that we still ate. Then there was one left and one of the kids opened it for a sarmie, did not tell anyone and we only saw the almost full opened bottle two weeks later at the back of the fridge

So how long have they been kicked out of the house for? That's treasonous.

Listen, if I had the money and didn't fear being beaten with a stick by the SO, I'd have bought that damned factory and kept it open forever.

Definitely, and all it is is mashed up and fermented anchovies, sardines, tomato paste, oil and preservatives.

You know Monday is pretty much like the purge right? Flaunting like that could get you in trouble.

Ready and waiting.. I think of it as bait.

Spot on! The new generations have no idea about what constitutes "good food". Pecks is an original UK brand, so presumably, someone should be able to confirm if it is still manufactured in the UK or not.
