Gentleman’s Relish, Shippam’s paste, Bath Olivers, Lea & Perrins sauce: the names are reminiscent of our grandparents’ larder, and a bygone age. But many of these traditional British foods are surprisingly still available, and some are even coming back into vogue.

“It’s true that food fashions go round and round,” says food historian and caterer Seren Charrington-Hollins of Bubbling Stove. “Midlifers may recall these as foods we ate as children at the house of older relatives, and nostalgia plays a huge part. On the other hand, a new set of consumers see them as new and posh and different, and will be discovering them for the first time.”
