It's got to be mayo obviously - you can shove your vinegary salad cream nonsense quite frankly. DSis and I almost had a proper argument about this last year because she is on the side of the salad cream. She was wrong of course. Wink

I only like mayonnaise with lots of wholegrain mustard in... I think salad cream is very underrated and mayonnaise overrated.

Redshoeblueshoe · 22/06/2020 15:40

YABU
I have both, not together obviously.
Although mayo does just have the edge

UnfinishedSymphon · 22/06/2020 15:41

Why not both? Mayo for egg/tuna mayo sandwiches and salad cream on corned beef and onion sandwiches.

Salad cream is also delicious for dunking salt & pepper chicken wings from the Chinese takeaway

Megatron · 22/06/2020 15:42

No no no! You have to choose, you can't have both, it's the rule! (that I just made up).

Can you tell I've run out of work today ..?

Does salad dressing count?

MrsRogerLima · 22/06/2020 15:43

Salad cream. Without contest. Mayonnaise these days is tasteless shite.

This is an abomination and you should be ashamed of yourself @UnfinishedSymphon.

Mayo for me please, especially on chips. Mayo is definitely more versatile, good on salad and you can make egg or tuna sandwiches with it.

Can't stand salad cream, just yucky in my opinion.

Cakebakeshake · 22/06/2020 15:45

Salad cream.

Salad cream and lashings of vinegar on chips is food of the gods!

sparkli · 22/06/2020 15:45

Mayo, obvs! Hot, salty chips dipped in mayo... Now I'm hungry Grin

PrincessHoneysuckle · 22/06/2020 15:47

Salad cream all day long ideally on chips and cheese

PhilipJennings · 22/06/2020 15:48

Team Salad Cream.

You can keep the bland tasteless wallpaper paste that is mayonnaise.

tmh88 · 22/06/2020 15:53

Got be mayonnaise!

Dicotyledon · 22/06/2020 15:53

YABVVU Salad Cream hands down

IHaveBrilloHair · 22/06/2020 15:54

No fair, I need both.

cliffdiver · 22/06/2020 15:54

Neither!

They're both vile.

xsquared · 22/06/2020 15:54

Mayonnaise but only Hellman's.

Salad cream smells like vomit.

SerenityNowwwww · 22/06/2020 15:55

I remember when Heinz (pretended they were going to) stopped making salad cream as there was a national outcry! Genius marketing.

AdaColeman · 22/06/2020 15:56

Garlicy mayonnaise here, we all know that chips need mayonnaise! One of the many gifts that Belgium has given to the World.

As an aside, corned beef is incomplete without Piccalilli!

itsgettingweird · 22/06/2020 15:56

Salad cream!

My favourite is pizza and salad cream Grin

MarigoldMoonStone · 22/06/2020 15:56

I like salad cream but I never really have it. I wouldn't want it on sandwiches. I only really like it on salad/new potatoes.

Mayo is the winner for me good for sandwiches, tuna, chips....

xsquared · 22/06/2020 15:58

Agreed @AdaColeman.
Belgian expat here. Always mayonnaise with chips!

fessmess · 22/06/2020 15:58

Salad cream. Obvs

Bubbletrouble43 · 22/06/2020 15:58

Yup, mayonnaise. Salad cream is gone off mayonnaise repackaged in my opinion. Utterly vile.

Megatron · 22/06/2020 16:00

@IHaveBrilloHair Well tough! There's always one who wants it all! 🤣
