Hallelujah brother! All hail the most magical of condiments
I just used it replace the mayo in an egg mayo butty, though 'egg salad cream' does sound a bit weird.
It has to be Heinz though. The own brand stuff I've tried just doesn't cut it
A cheese salad sandwich with salad cream is one of my favourite things in the world
I once quickly tasted it many years ago. I remember it as an appalling attempt at making mayonnaise using vast quantities of sugar.
Why anyone would want to put it on salads, or sandwiches, or anything else for that matter, remains one of the great mysteries of life for me.
Chopped egg, tomato and salad cream sandwiches.
EDIT: Can we give an honourable mention to Heinz Sandwich Spread?
It's actually pretty good on a bacon buttie too! I was sceptical until I tried it. Also fish finger butties.
Egg mayo usually add a dollop of it with the mayo too.
Salad cream with my sardines on toast. YUM.
I used to love of the stuff, along with Ketchup. Hardly ever use either nowadays, though I still have both around in the house.
Mentioned it on the corned beef thread the other day but theres nothing better than a corned beef and salad sarnie with a load of salad cream on a flour-ey bap. Yum.
I had a horrible feeling that I might be suffering from a progressive degenerative disease a little while ago: all the fun had gone out of my cheese and onion sandwiches. I persevered for a few days but fortunately I spotted I'd inadvertently picked up a bottle of 70% less fat Salad cream. Gawd, it's gruesome stuff. Straight in the bin with it.
Also fish finger butties.
God yes - I'm 55 and have been eating them on and off since I was a young child.

Been there. That stuff needs dyed pink or heavily relabelled to prevent total travestation.
Awful stuff, fish fingers or not! Now chilli jam and fish fingers in a sandwich... that's something else entirely.
Both wrong. Ketchup and cheese singles
Salad cream and cheese sandwich is rather nice
Have you tried sriracha mayo? Maybe the new king of sauces
Bloody love Salad Cream and we get through loads in our house.
So versatile from on salads to on pork pastry products (sausage rolls, pork pie etc) plus chips etc
It has to be Heinz though. The own brand stuff I’ve tried just doesn’t cut it
Definitely. Gone up a lot in price but haven't deviated to own brand
Nah man. Mayonnaise.
Love it, with chips it is like angels copulating on your tongue.
salad cream sarnies when i was a kid. bread, stork sb and salad cream. perfect.
Salad cream and cheddar, on toasted white bread. Utterly comforting nostalgia on a plate (or rather in my hand).
stork sb and salad cream.
Stork margarine and salad cream?
Just when I thought nothing could be worse than salad cream someone suggests combining it with margarine.
Margarine is another thing which I thought no longer existed.
Salad Cream + Scotch Egg = yumm!
an honourable mention to Heinz Sandwich Spread
This needed a boost

Unless you use proper butter like what I do isn't all the rest essentially margarine just dressed up and spun to be healthy, healthier or cow friendly?
Rice and soy sauce… Epic.
Eh?
Rice, soy sauce and salad cream?
Salad Cream + Scotch Egg = yumm!
Yes! Also:
- Cheese and salad cream sandwich (with onion is even better)
- Crisp and salad cream sandwich (not had one of those for about 40 years.... heads off to kitchen)

Nope.
Most modern 'Margarines' are more akin to an oil emulsion, modified for palatability.
They used to use really low grade oils and animal fats that were hydrogenated prior to emulsification.
These days they are slightly better. Slightly.
A slight departure down memory lane, but as a kid did anyone else have dripping sandwiches??
We had a jug from when ever we had roasts for the fat to make dripping. Lard in top and brown juicy goodness below. We'd have it on bread and butter with salt. I think that'd be classed as child cruelty or similar nowadays 😂 Also sugar sarnies and banana sarnies.
Dripping sandwiches no, but do remember banana and sugar sandwiches
but as a kid did anyone else have dripping sandwiches??
Bread and dripping; very much so, yes. And getting back on topic I'm sure I remember pressed tongue sarnies with salad cream as a kid. My grandmother didn't come from properly oop north (she was Cheshire, Bridge Trafford way) but I have a lot to be grateful to her for.
Yes! Hello, I’m Houns and I’m a salad cream addict. There is nothing that isn’t improved by SC.
Now, possibly controversially, I prefer Heinz vegan SC
Bread and dripping - still do.
Whenever I roast meat or poultry I always pour off the pan juices. If I'm not using them to make gravy or a sauce I keep the glass in the fridge. When it's set the jelly at the bottom always gets used, usually added into the boiled up bones for stock. Sometimes - not always - the fat is really tasty so spread a bit on some fresh bread, add a bit of the jelly and a good shake of Saxo white pepper, it's a great breakfast.

Almost deserves its own thread
Eh?
Rice, soy sauce and salad cream?
Yep. Delicious.
Also Chinese takeaway chips with soy sauce and vinegar. Fusion innit
bread and dripping is one of my all time faves. with sliced black pudding and onion.
when i played rugby, the trays of snap with dripping butties and black pudding were the first to be eaten every week.
I do like salad cream, but I have to say do I prefer mayonnaise, I'm sure that make me a heretic.
Prefer both to ketchup though, not sure why...

Dripping on toast with a sprinkling of salt! Salad cream with pork pies, scotch eggs, etc.
Heinz sandwich spread...used to have it loads as a kid, bought some years ago for Fazzini jnr and he threw up 🤣🤣
Home made mayonnaise. Takes a few minutes and is way nicer than anything from a factory.
Home made mayonnaise! We’ve hit peak STW again. 😂
Some of us are scum and prefer something from a factory, hence loving salad cream in all it’s filthy mass-produced, addictive-laden glory
Go 50/50 in your tuna mayo sandwiches.
Thank me later! 😉
Edit - and loads of it in yer cheese, ham, tomato sandwiches!
I used to love of the stuff, along with Ketchup.
I hope to god not in combination 😯
but as a kid did anyone else have dripping sandwiches??
Absolutely and still do when I cook roast pork (belly for the win). Young workmates looked at me like I was insane when I explained.

Well it does make sense when you consider that "factory" mayonnaise isn't mayonnaise - mostly rape seed oil and little or no olive oil.

Then you can make meringues or pavlova with the egg whites with a huge dollop of whipped cream - another opportunity to clog your arteries up and increase your chances of a heart attack.
