Salad Cream

Absent could you post your SC recipe? I recall my mil making it but I cannot recall what ingredients she used!

Whats the difference between salad cream and mayo?
Walnut cellery and marmite sandwiches are extra yummy!

Love a few boiled new tatties, covered in salad cream...yummo!

I think I liked it once, but that's going back a long time, it's pretty retro, I can't imagine dressing a salad with it, although people did. Not in my house though, we always had proper French dressing with olive oil, my dad was more in touch with his Mediterranean side of the family's cuisine, than the English side, he regarded salad cream as food of the devil, I guess that's why I found it a bit of a novelty because we didn't have it at home. I don't think I'd want it in a sandwich now, but I'm not keen on mayonnaise in sandwiches either.

Sales of salad cream have plummeted so I guess the renaming might be the last resort to keep the stuff for those who still like it.

Sad though. What next? Marmite becomes 'Brown Spread'.

Don't like mayonnaise but love salad cream. Tuna, salad cream and chopped apple sandwich. My favourite. I first tried it in a sandwich I bought from the kitchen of the school I worked in.

I like the jars of Heinz sandwich spread with all the little chunky bits of veg and it goes with everything but you can keep salad cream to tangy for me. Hellmans mayo all the way

As long as they don't change the actual product I don't care what it's called. I love salad cream on real chips. I hate mayo because it upsets my tummy

dont like it .I buy because my OH loves it on his salad,I blame the fact his mother isn't a great cook and it covered up the taste .

Bleurgh......hate salad cream whatever name it goes by

Salad cream yum yum! How DARE they re-name it? - that's my childhood they're messing with!

Tomato sandwiches with salad cream, Yum! Potato salad made with mayo, equally Yum.

Back in the days when I thought I could eat gluten, salad cream was an essential accompaniment to a slice of Melton Mowbray pork pie.

Crispy lettuce, tomato, and cucumber sandwiches dripping with Heinz salad cream , followed by a lemon curd and cream Victoria sponge cake brings back childhood memories of a weekend summer tea on my father's sister's lawn. Why do my sandwiches never taste as good.?

Fennel I'm glad you asked that. I always thought they were more or less the same thing and that mayonnaise is the posh upmarket name for salad cream. I'm obviously wrong !

I wonder if it is a publicity stunt by Heinz? Massive outrage at proposed name change - company backs down - it stays as Salad Cream and huge increase in sales

My mother loved Salad Cream, Heinz vegetable salad, Heinz potato salad, and piccalilli. I still can’t bear the thought of eating any of them!
They accompanied the ‘ salad tea’ in summer, which was rolled up cooked ham, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and boiled egg. Chips were the usual accompaniment, but it could be crisps if it was really hot.

I can't help thinking that this is just an advertising/marketing ploy, disguised as a (pretend) name change! Not that I'm cynical you understand

Let's face it, it's brought a lot of attention and will, almost certainly, bring plenty of £££ along with it!

I am in agreement with lemongrove double yuck.

I hate salad cream

How is salad cream different from mayo? Just more vinegar?

Just heard this on the news. It seems only 14% use salad cream on salad. The rest use it on sandwiches.

However, the product is ubiquitous so the chances of anyone looking at it on a shelf and thinking 'Oh dear, I cannot use that in a sandwich, it is only for salads' just because it is called salad cream not sandwich cream, must be infinitesimal to vanishing point

Exactly M0nica. By the way, wasn't Salad Cream taken off the market a while ago, then brought back because of an outcry?
I like it as a change

They can call it what they like, I still won’t eat it. I’m firmly in the mayonnaise camp. Having said that, Heinz mayonnaise is pretty awful too!

It's Marathon, Jif, Ulay and Opal Fruits again!

Why are Heinz renaming this I wonder? Surely not for the UK market? We don't like changes with long established brands and recipes.
