I will say that I just recently purchased 5 tin of Samuel Gawith Bracken Flake that was purchased in 2011 by the fella I bought them from and this blend is absolutely stellar but I have reference of which to gave it with since I never tried it when it was still on the market. It is just freaking dreamy for those who love dark flakes with a bit of that traditional British sauce. Mmmmm Mmmmm, good dookie!
