Salad cream v mayonnaise?

[dessiato]

It’s got some vinegar in, which cuts through the fat. Mayo is just cloying fat.

I've always thought highly of you, but this dislike of mayonnaise is a deal breaker.

I just do not get it. It’s largely tasteless, all you get is the mouthfeel

If it's made properly it's very tasty. I use a good olive oil, a pinch of good mustard, preferably Dijon, egg yolks and a tiny splash of white wine vinegar. And it is wonderful.

Or Hellmans with a bit of Dijon or chilli added to improve it further. Because I can be lazy.

If you like mayo you're an absolute pervert.

You can't really go wrong if you start with Hellmans, but most others I've tried are rank.

Morrisons own brand mayo is surprisingly good and suspiciously similar to higher priced branded mayo - due to budget constraints I have switched to that. (The regular fatty version, I have no idea what the low fat one is like).

Low fat and mayo should never be mentioned in the same sentence. What next, dehydrated water. Just add water.

I’ve never had homemade to be fair. Might be a game changer.

Home made is lovely but doesn't work out so well if your aim is for use in sarnies on a tight budget (compared to a £1 jar that can happily sit in the fridge for weeks!) For special occasions or if I wanted to do something nice for guests (well at least when having guests round for a meal used to be a thing, in The Time Before) I'd go home made every time.
