What chutney or pickle should I use?
We used Branston small chunk pickle, but you could use your favourite - caramelised onion, spicy tomato, mango or even piccalilli would all work well.
Can I switch up the cheese?
Any firm, well flavoured cheese will work well, just pick one that compliments your chosen chutney or pickle (or vice versa). Lancashire, Stilton or Manchego would all be lovely.
