You and Yours, R4 (I think) about a week ago

Just wondering whether anyone else heard this one. There was a woman complaining (with reason) about the cost of living, including food - but she said that salad cream was a ‘ridiculous’ £5 a bottle!

I thought ‘Surely not!’ at the time, and did check next time I was in the local Asda - the biggest squeezy bottle of Heinz was £2.89!

Maybe there’s a gourmet version I’ve never encountered, but then bona fide gourmets are appalled at the mere idea of salad cream anyway, aren’t they?

There is no such thing as an unhealthy food, certainly not an inherently unhealthy one. There are only unhealthy diets.

Salad cream and mayonnaise are not unhealthy foods. Both items are condiments that we add in relatively small amounts to specific foods, mainly raw vegetables and sandwiches.

Are we discussing the price of whether it's naf to eat salad cream? . A wee bit snobby in my opinion.

I find , as I grow older , that I prefer salad cream to mayonnaise which can be a bit bland to my old taste buds.

I am another who likes sandwich spread.

If anyone thinks salad cream is naf, it says more about them than it does about those of us who prefer it.

Here here. Very tasty. Haven't had sandwich spread for years, but used to love it.
