I use salad cream because I do not like mayonnaise, it always tastes very bland.I think it is the 'cut' of the vinegar in salad cream that I prefer.

I use it wherever one would otherwise use mayonnaise; on raw salad, veg in made up salads, in sandwiches, but mainly on salads. For me it is salad cream because that is what I use it in. Sandwich cream?

If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Cheese, tomato and salad cream sandwiches yum !
I love branston on a ham sandwich but gag at the thought of branston on it's own Danni

I love salad cream in a proper (crisp) salad sandwich. I also enjoy sandwich spread just on its own or with a slice of cheese .

Not for me, prefer cheese, celery and mayo OR cheese and crisps sandwich.

My sister always loved those tins of Heinz vegetable salad! Salad in a tinsmile

I reckon salad cream is about a seven and a half – no a ten – on my list of disgusting foods. However, having spent my professional life in the world of recipe writing, I could give you a more or less tolerable recipe for it.

Oh yes, Coolgran, beetroot & salad cream! Yum. It goes such a pretty shade of pink.

My French DIL prefers SC to mayonnaise! grin

I love salad cream on my salad, in a salad sandwich or mixed with hard boiled egg in a sandwich - better than mayonnaise! Does anyone else like a Branston Pickle sandwich? Nothing else just the pickle smile

Oh I see, I have never tried that, although I used to love sandwich spread when young.

Sandwich cream??? To go with Sandwich Spread perhaps!!
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.??

Do you mean you put it on your salad sarnie Pittcity ?

Salad cream reminds me of childhood, a plate with some limp lettuce leaves, half a tomato, half a boiled egg and a couple of slices of tongue (yuk.)

They are renaming everything now, trying to make things cool.I haven’t recovered from calling Nestles ‘ Nestlay’ grin

I love a salad cream sandwich, but the announcement that Heinz may rename Salad Cream as Sandwich Cream is a step too far.
