Frequently asked questions about Shaws Fig & Honey Chutney
Q: Is this the UK version?
A: Yes, it is the British jar, made in the United Kingdom, and we ship it from within Canada.
Q: How much is in the jar?
A: It is a 195g jar. That covers a few cheese boards and a good stack of sandwiches, depending on how heavy your spoon is.
Q: Is it a good gift for someone who misses home?
A: Very much so. Put it next to a decent cheddar and some crackers and you have handed someone a British lunch they have not had in years.
Q: What do people eat it with?
A: Cheese first, always. After that, cold meats, pork pie, sausage rolls and pâté on toast all do very nicely.
More about Shaws Fig & Honey Chutney
Chutney is the quiet backbone of British eating. It turns up beside the ploughman's, next to the pork pie, on the side of the cheese board and inside more cheese sandwiches than anyone could count. Fig and honey is the sweeter, richer end of the shelf.
People in Canada search for it by name because they want the exact jar they remember, the one that went on the toasted cheese at a mate's house or came out with the cold cuts on a Sunday evening. Memory is specific like that.
It comes in a 195g jar, which is enough for a few good cheese boards and a run of sandwiches without lurking in the fridge for months. Unopened, it sits happily in the cupboard; once it is open, it goes in the fridge like any chutney. Try it with a strong cheddar, cold ham, a sausage roll or a slab of pâté on toast.
It rarely travels alone. Most people pick it up alongside a proper pickle, some oatcakes or crackers and whatever cheese they have been thinking about all week, and a well stocked fridge door is the result.
