Salad Cream

Hate the stuff

I used to eat it when I was young. In the 70s we lived next door to an American couple and she introduced me to Hellman's mayonnaise. After that salad cream tasted far too sweet. We have it in the house because DH loves it. But definitely a no from me.

Daddima, we had the same meal except the ham was YeOlde Oak ham- a tin of ham that, by the time the jelly was scraped off yielded a bit of ham about the same size as a ten pence piece!

I don't like real mayonnaise, only salad cream, preferably Heinz. I bought a pot of potato salad in Waitrose last week which tasted awful. The mayonnaise had a terrible metallic tang.
I too love salad or cheese and beetroot sandwiches with Salad Cream added.
The proposed re-naming of Salad Cream to Sandwich Cream is a step too far. I will be emailing them about it.

Marmite keeps selling, even though the picture of a casserole or marmite seems to have disappeared from the label. No-one has felt the need to find out what people use that for and then change the name accordingly.

Not a big salad cream fan but a bit is nice on a crisp sandwich, has to be plain or cheese and onion crisps though.

Oh, that's funny, Daisyboots - I always think mayonnaise is rather sweet!

Weird how our perceptions of taste are so different.

stupid idea!

As David Mitchell points out in the Observer today, it isn't made with cream either. So if they change the first word they ought to change the second. Sandwich Sauce?

Funny article about this in Observer today by David Mitchell, and he also touches on the nonsense that is "choice" in energy suppliers.

'orrible stuff!

We used to have it as children, then I didn't eat it for years, using Mayo instead. Recently however I had a yearning for it and so have gone back to putting it on tomatoes and lettuce.

Always hated salad cream we had mayonnaise preferably with added garlic. Salad never included beetroot which I can’t abide nor picallili which I have never tried
