(off thread a bit) but I remember watching an episode of "Come dine with me" and it was a celebrity edition. Christopher Bigging was one of the celebreties and his started was Smoked Mackerel Pate. Anyway, whatever he did it all went wrong and he ran out at the last minute and went to Marks and Spencer and bought their Smoked Mackerel Pate. The other contestants loved it and he did not come clean with them and he won the competition!
