I like salad cream, not that name though. It sounds like the cream in a victoria sandwich, as in actual cream, or just very wrong.

What I have noticed is I am very much a fan of sweet dill mustard, really struggle to find it anywhere but IKEA do a good one (sas senap). Realised the other day it’s basically the exact taste as salad cream, just a different texture and looks a bit fancier. They’d be better off getting on the artisan dill mustard gravy train I reckon.

I know what you mean re the tang and kick of the two sauces.

My favourite dill mustards are:

  1. the one which was sold by M&S (it was properly mustardy and not really like SC though, beyond both being tangy. WHERE IS IT|? @rich-t ? ); and
  2. the sachet you get with Tesco own brand gravadlax.

Wonder how hard it would be to make?

If you must know, started as an xmas line a few years ago. Then got incorporated into the core range. Now, for reasons I’ve PMed you about previously, they’ve stripped the company catalogue right back, and this is a casualty of that cull

Lasagne and salad cream ought to get a person sectioned.

You probably don’t want to read some of the muck in this thread in that case m9…

I like salad cream, not had it for years mind. My mum used to mix it half and half with ketchup to make a rudimentary thousand island (which she called Russian sauce for some reason) when she used to do prawn cocktails at Christmas.

Changing its name to sandwich cream is wrong though, as @Scout said it sounds like the filling in a cake.

Wife’s family are well in to this shit. Really is an abomination.

I guess this is the reason, everyday’s a school day.

I’ve looked it up and so many different recipes and I don’t know which one I want! I had a great one at my friends house when I was house sitting but when I asked her where she got it she didn’t even know what I was talking about. So maybe it’s been in her cupboard for years and it aged into something amazing.

I still want that ancho chilli relish. Come on Rich, sort me out man!

#93

I’m sure they used to do another product called Sandwich Cream in the nineties that was, like, some sort of cross between salad cream and a pickle. Small glass jar, green and white lid and labels.

Ah, that’s it. Used to eat piles of that. It was fucking rank.

Pretty sure I had sandwiches of just that when I was kid. Weird stuff. Is it still a thing?

#97

Same.

I’d literally just slap a bit of Vitalite and that on bread and polish off half a loaf.

#98

Seem to remember it had weirdly small chunks of veg or whatever was actually it. An odd texture somewhere between smooth and lumpy. Kind of vinegary aftertaste. Not something I need to revisit.

#99

I think it’s still around.

I used to get sandwiches of stork margarine and that Heinz sandwich spread, or “sandwich paste” by somebody like Princes. The jars of ‘paste’ would sit in my grandma’s larder for a year or so at a time. Never needed to go in a fridge, seemingly never went out of date either.

Maybe three times a decade I will buy a jar and enjoy it too.

fish paste seemed to be thing in the 70s and 80s, we always had a jar of Shipphams in the cupboard. My granddad loved a bit of Bloater Paste (:nauseated_face:), probably because he had virtually no sense of taste and had smoked since he was about nine!
