What is...
MANFOOD?
Manfood is just that: the kind of simple, great tasting food that you can grab out of the cupboard and enjoy with cheeses, cold cuts, pies or meat.
ABOUT US Manfood was started by two men – Jon Honeyball and Andre Dang from their kitchen in Warboys. Andre, a former buyer for Harrods and Selfridges, was inspired by his own (and his family’s behaviour): from experience, when men come home, they raid the cupboards and fridge looking for snacks or something to munch. They want instant gratification.
“When men come home, they raid the cupboards and fridge looking for snacks or something to munch.
The Manfood recipes came about as a direct result of Jon complaining about a lack of properly crisp, chunky pickles. He was fed up of buying jars only to find bland, wet mush inside. And so Andre took up the challenge to make the perfect pickle. Beginning with piccalilli, he then developed recipes for Bread and Butter Pickles, Smoked Tomato Sauce and Achar. Today, the range has grown from the initial pickle selection, to over twenty seven different products. We are proud to be stocked in farm shops, independents and food halls both in the UK and abroad. The range is the perfect accompaniment to a fridge buffet, a cheese platter and a must have for your barbecue.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS The Manfood range is quite wide ranging and versatile, so we encourage you to experiment and find your own flavour combinations and pairings. That said, here are a few ideas that we do at home:
Indian Range
Sauce Range
Mango chutney - serve with poppadoms as an intro to an Indian feast or blitz with some water and use to make a great marinade for chicken & fish.
Satay sauce - add a little water to loosen, then use as a stir fry sauce, or warm and use from the jar as a dip for skewers or use to make a traditional Malaysian salad with beansprouts, boiled egg, cucumber and prawn fritters.
Chilli sauce - stir a teaspoon into some creme fraiche to make a hot dip or marinade, or add a spoonful to tomato juice for a fiery bloody mary mix Dried fruit chutney - great with cheese, or serve as an alternative to lime pickle (for those who don’t like the sourness) Spiced tomato chutney - excellent to accompany Indian food or use as a base to make curry: brown your meat, then pour over chutney with some extra water to loosen if desired.
Chip shop curry sauce - warm and use as a sauce with chips or sausages. Also use as a cooking sauce for mild curries or use to make a cheat’s chicken katsu or fish curry Beer BBQ sauce - use to glaze ribs, excellent for pulled pork can be used as a burger sauce. Smoked tomato sauce - stir into mayonnaise for a smokey Marie Rose sauce for prawns; use as a cooking sauce for pasta or a base for casseroles; great alternative to ketchup.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS Pickles
Smokehouse Range
Piccalilli - excellent with cold cuts, pork pie & ploughman’s lunch. Works really well with slightly runny in the middle Scotch egg.
Smoked corn relish - great with burgers, or add to some deseeded chopped tomatoes and coriander for a smoky salsa
Bread and Butter pickle - good with smoked fish, pate, but also on a burger or try draining and mixing with natural yoghurt for a cheat’s raita
Beer & Smoke pickle - great with burgers or serve with salt beef
Achar - use as a vegetable dish with curry and rice, or as a supper dish, try warming through and serving with buttered fried eggs
Smoked onion relish - use to make an onion gravy, top burgers or mix into sausage meat to make a smoky sausage roll
Ale chutney - very good with cheese. Try spreading on bread and using it in a cheese toastie.
Smoked garlic mayonnaise - serve with a salad, top burgers, use in sandwiches or serve with grilled prawns.
Beer Jellies
Cocktail Jams
Plain beer jelly – try a spoonful stirred into gravy or sauces to add shine and a touch of maltiness. Chilli beer jelly – add a few tablespoons to some part cooked cocktail sausages. Toss through and allow to melt, then place back into the oven to finish cooking for sticky chilli sausages.
Mojito marmalade – try in the middle of a coconut cake, or for something completely different, pair with roast lamb as an alternative to mint jelly. Bellini jam – try slicing a Camembert or Brie in half, sandwich together with Bellini jam, then bake in the oven until oozing.
Asian beer jelly – melt a few tablespoons with a tablespoon of water, then brush on to partially baked or grilled ribs to make sticky oriental ribs.
Bramble jam – try melting some tablespoons in meat juices for a fruity sauce that goes well with Venison or Duck.
Lemon & Ginger beer jelly – pairs beautifully with cheese as an alternative to quince jelly.
Negroni jam – perfect with scones and clotted cream, or as a filling for a Victoria sponge.
Asian Fusion Range Wasabi Mayo - this creamy mayonnaise works vey well with fish, so try in a raw cocktail; use as a dip, or for something different, use to make a California roll or a Poké bowl, served with rice, salad and diced raw tuna. Korean Taco Sauce - use as either a drizzling sauce, or a marinade. The perfect recipe, is to quickly stir fry some strips of beef, and serve in a taco alongside kimchi for crunch. Serve with more sauce drizzled over the top. Vietnamese Pickled Onion - a sweet, lightly spiced onion, try this as a filling in a traditional Banh Mi sandwich - halve a crusty baguette, spread some of the Wasabi Mayonnaise on, then layer with sliced caramel roast pork, slices of pork terrine and finish with the onions. Filipino Adobo Wing Sauce - marinade some chicken wings in this sauce, and cook on the BBQ, or deep fry the wings and slather in this sauce and finish in the oven to let them go sticky.
