Salad Cream

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’

Mmmm... salad cream and pickled beetroot sandwich.

No just bread, butter and salad cream! Yum!

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

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

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

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

My French DIL prefers SC to mayonnaise!

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.

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 tin

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 .

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 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?

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

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

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!

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

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

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

I am in agreement with lemongrove double yuck.

I hate salad cream

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!

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 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

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 !

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.?
