Salad cream on chips ??

Spud-related stuff generally. It also goes great on a crisp butty (particularly with salt and vinegar Seabrook)

What shape are the chips? Amphibious landing craft perchance?

I thought I'd found the ideal chip dip in Devon one time when there was some clotted cream that needed finishing.
But a while ago I made proper Dover sole and the beurre noisette (half a pound of butter heated in a pan till it goes brown and nutty) and that is the official winner. Although the hollandaise I made last night comes close.
Yes, I'm fat. And as far as confessions, we always have Hellman's mayo and Heinz salad cream in the cupboard. But that's not the confession - last week I inadvertently picked up a bottle of reduced fat salad cream - and the shame is, I can't taste the difference.

Molten salty butter is the correct accompaniment for all things potato. Possibly with extra salt.

I really can’t understand why anyone would choose mayo over salad cream

Deviants, the lot of you.

Salt, fair point.

Vinegar, white vinegar has no place on anything other than paint brushes.

Love salad cream....goes with everything including salad (stuff all the fancy salad dressings). Love it with savoury pastries especially sausage rolls and pork pie. Friend at uni always put it on chilli con carne but that was a step too far

This thread can be divided into two poster types:

-The people who are comfortable with who they are and the role salad cream plays in their lives.

-Snobs who don't know what they are talking about.

white vinegar has no place on anything other than paint brushes.

I sprayed it on a carpet the other day to help get rid of the smell of spilt milk. Also put it in some honey mustard dressing* that I made last night. Any other any vinegar won’t cut it. These are the only applications for white vinegar (cleaning and dressings) AFAIK

*Three equal parts Dijon mustard, mayonnaise and honey. Add a little white vinegar, adding, stirring and tasting periodically until is vinegary and runny enough (whilst remaining sweet and honeyed)

you can oxidise wood by wiping it with vinegar that has steel wool dissolved in it.

A late second vote here for tartare sauce. All the fun of mayo, but with crunchy pickle bits in it.
Preferably from a five litre, pump action dispenser at a Belgian cyclocross race…
