Salad cream v mayonnaise?

[Grobelaar]

Used to be on the free school meals a fair bit when I was a lad - but there was this period when I wasn't and my Mum would make us sandwiches for school - everyday it would be exactly the same egg sandwiches made with salad cream and a packet of quavers - it become utterly disgusting - I'm not even sure how long it was for - in my head it seems like a whole year, but was probably only a term or something. The quavers I can just about stand, but that's probably because they have 10 times as much salt in them as they used to. But eggs and salad cream - it's a no no.

Nothing wrong with salad cream or eggs - will eat egg mayonnaise sandwiches. My girlfriend's mum makes a lovely West Indian style potato salad which has eggs and a mixture of salad cream and mayo - it's really nice and I do eat it - but I know there's a bit of me that is saying no in my head.

Mayo over all.
All kinds of it, cheap is sometimes good in a tuna sarnie but MnS garlic mayo with chips is heavenly.

I do like salad cream but never really buy it.

Not a massive fan of ketchup but have been won over by the Reggae Reggae stuff.

Brown sauce with sausages for brekkie.

Tartar on scampi or battered cod.

Mayo is a biy too greasy and sickly.

Salad cream on cold new potatoes ftw.

Never had 'proper' mayo - but salad cream wins hands down over shop mayo.

This may be a reflection on growing up in S. Wales in the 70's but I'm pretty sure I never had mayo till about 1985 (is it a coincidence that this was also the victory of thatcherism? I think not)

my better half has fish finger sarnies, with grated cheese, sweet chilli sause and salad cream. Indecently good, as it turns out

I remember in Belgium they would always go completely over the top if you asked for mayonnaise with your fries, splodging a mammoth load all over the top.

Fake mayo, kill it with fire.

Delicious.

If you have bread and butter and salad cream you got the makings of a superb sandwich.

 

[TruXta]

You don't like fried egg sarnies, but you love salad cream? Does not compute.....

It's no more fake mayo than ketchup is, or brown sauce.

Absolutely delish with a strong cheddar cheese salad sandwich on fresh bread. Not so keen on mayo.

Bad taste

 

[Dillinger4]

Bad taste

I agree, everybody who thinks fried egg sandwiches are tasty does have bad taste, definitely, and are also weird freaks who shouldn't be allowed food.

 

[TruXta]

I see this is going to end well. DIE freakazoids!

That's the spirit.

 

[Citizen66]

I think I like it because it was denied to me as a child, although I also love HP and that was available in abundance.

 

[fractionMan]

I can still taste it every time I'm sick.

Yuk.

I like most food stuffs but Salad Cream reeks of school dinners where the salads were just plain lettuce, cucumber and tomato mixed together. No dressing or oil or anything to make it nice, just crappy salad cream. No wonder I hated salad as a kid.

Mayo, vinaigrette, croutons, and proper salad dressing all the way baby.
