Fans of traditional British cuisine were dismayed to learn that Gentleman’s Relish, a beloved anchovy-based condiment, has been discontinued by its manufacturer, AB World Foods. The company cited dwindling retailer distribution and lack of wider commercial appeal as reasons for ceasing production earlier this year. Despite this setback, Jeremy King, owner of the historic Simpson’s in the Strand restaurant in London, has taken matters into his own hands by creating a homemade version of the relish. This adaptation, inspired by a classic Victorian recipe, is expected to be similar to the original and will be served on toast at Simpson’s for £6.50. Additionally, Fortnum & Mason, a renowned London grocer, will continue to produce its own version of the relish, priced at £14.95. Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson expressed her fondness for Gentleman’s Relish, describing it as the savory counterpart to cinnamon toast and indicating she would resort to making her own version. The original Gentleman’s Relish was created by John Osborn, an English grocer in Paris, in 1828, the same year Simpson’s opened its doors.
