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 reject your rule. The correct answer is "it depends." Chicken sandwich obviously needs mayo. Cold meat or fish with salad obviously needs salad cream.

Salad cream every time Grin mayonnaise is horrible.

Megatron · 22/06/2020 16:01

Mayonnaise and chips is the food of Kings. Lots of salt on the chips too. #healthy

@chocolateisavegetable I'm kind of getting the impression by your user name that you have no rules when it come to food and although I'm liking your thinking on that one, we must have order. There will be no mayo/salad cream anarchy on this thread!

I scooped some mayo out of the jar the other day (Hellman’s) and the texture!!! I can’t stand how it’s so almost jellylike and needs scooping out. Actually makes me feel a bit sick. It’s not a sauce if you need to scoop it. I love salad cream for the taste and the sauce texture.

You need mayo for chips but salad cream for fishfinger sandwiches.
I just can't chooooooseSad

Mayo. No question. There should only be one, salad cream ought to be wiped out of existence in real life not just theoretically in Chat.

PeskyRooks · 22/06/2020 16:13

Salad cream all day long. It's the only acceptable condiment in an egg sandwich. When I was at school I had sandwiches of just butter and salad cream! Has to be white bread for this though.

I hate both of them.

Salad cream. Mayonnaise makes me sick.

Iloveantiques · 22/06/2020 16:16

Team mayo forever

UnfinishedSymphon · 22/06/2020 16:16

@UnfinishedSymphon

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

Try it, it's a taste sensation and you will not be disappointed

Salad cream.

MrsAvocet · 22/06/2020 16:16

Neither. They are both hideous, slimey substances and clearly the work of the devil. But salad cream is even more repulsive than the horror that is mayonnaise. Why is it virtually impossible to get a shop bought sandwich that is not contaminated?

TheNestedIf · 22/06/2020 16:17

I'm on the fence but DP is totally outraged by the mere existence of mayonnaise. Showing him this thread would end in much froth.

Mayo on chips. Salad cream on a tuna sandwich

newtb · 22/06/2020 16:28

Mayo when I've made it properly it's almost solid. Keeps for weeks and weeks - probably due to the 8 or so garlic cloves I put in it.

mayo
most salad cream you can buy is just mayo mixed with milk & herbs anyway.

a proper home made salad cream is a thing of beauty though.

PawPawNoodle · 22/06/2020 16:43

Mayonnaise. The only person I know that eats salad cream is in prison, ergo everyone that likes salad cream is a criminal.

BearSoFair · 22/06/2020 16:46

Mayo, 100%. Salad cream makes my tongue feel weird.
