Cooking aids
Gravy in two minutes
Bisto has been around since 1908, and "Ahh, Bisto !" is one of the country's most famous slogans. The granules are poured into boiling water, preferably the water used to cook vegetables or the juices from a roast. Stir until you reach the right consistency, and it's ready. There are:
- The Original in powder form;
- the granules aah;
- the onion versions, including the Best Roast Onion;
- Co-op meat gravy.
The farce and the dumplings
- Paxo stuffing with sage and onion is mixed with hot water, shaped into balls or put inside poultry, then baked alongside the roast.
- Suet Atora is used to make dumplings: flour, suet, a little water, and the dumplings are placed on top of the stew for the last twenty minutes of cooking. It is also the base for steamed puddings and pie crusts.
- Co-op shortcrust pastry, already mixed, is ready for a crumble or a pie.
Two malt vinegars

Colman's bags
Colman's sachets dissolve in milk or water to create a sauce in minutes: cheddar, parsley, onion, pepper. The complete recipes (Shepherd's Pie, Beef Casserole, Chicken Casserole, chili) only require meat and vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
What is the Marmite ?
It's a savory spread made from yeast extract, with a strong and very distinctive flavor. The British spread it in a thin layer on buttered toast. Its slogan says it all: "You either love it or hate it."
What is brown sauce, like HP Sauce?
It's a thick, slightly spicy brown sauce made with tomatoes, malt vinegar, dates, and tamarind. Essential to the English breakfast and the famous bacon sandwich, HP Sauce has been the most well-known version for over a century.
What is the difference between a chutney and a pickle?
Chutney is a preparation of fruits or vegetables cooked with vinegar, sugar, and spices, like mango chutney, which accompanies curries. British pickles, such as Branston Pickle, are made of small pieces of vegetables in a sweet and sour sauce. They are an essential part of cheddar cheese and a ploughman's lunch.
Why do English crisps have such unique flavors?
Across the Channel, crisps come in flavors rarely found in France: salt & vinegar, prawn cocktail, cheese & onion… Walkers is the iconic brand. Note: in the UK, "chips" refers to French fries!
What are baked beans?
These are white beans cooked in a slightly sweet tomato sauce, a staple of British cuisine. They are served at breakfast, on toast ("beans on toast") or with a baked potato. Heinz Beanz is the benchmark.
What is malt vinegar?
It's a brown vinegar made from malted barley, with a mild, slightly malty taste. It's the one generously poured over fish and chips, and it's also used to make pickles. Sarson's is the most famous.
What is English mustard?
Bright yellow in color, English mustard is much spicier than Dijon mustard. Colman's has been making it since 1814. It is traditionally served with roast beef, sausages and ham, and enhances cheese sauces.
What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?
At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.
What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
