mayonnaise or salad cream?

[Crumpetdisappointment]

i used to like salad cream to make an egg salad 20 years ago
it is dated isnt it?
but just occasionally i think, a touch of salad cream would be nice

Is that their own brand tube one?

Use both - seriously, try it. Fab with tuna too.

Both taste like someone has spat in your food, too gloopy.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other, they both have a place. You can’t beat a cheese, tomato and salad cream sandwich, mayo doesn’t cut it. Likewise I’d never have salad cream on a burger. TBH I’m a condiment freak and it’s actually chilli mayo on a burger, tartare sauce on fish, Caesar dressing on chicken.

Can’t beat a bit of variety.

This sums it up for me

No. It comes in a squeeze bottle. I don’t really like getting my mayo supply in a squeeze bottle, I feel I never quite get every last bit out (a spatula around one the large Hellmans jars and it gets every scrap out of it 😜). However, at about a 1/3 of the price for Hellmans, I’ll live with it.

if i have to get a squeezy bottle i try to take a knife to it afterwards!

anyway, i have no salad cream and it doesnt seem worth the expense just as a one off fancy i had today.
but perhaps
any recommendations ? apart from Heinz?

i normally use Lidl or Asda mayo,
or even Waitrose,
just not tesco as dd pointed out it tastes fishy so i havent been able to untaste that

or should i just push the boat out and get heinz?

I use both mix it together delicious and as someone else said with tuna too yum yum
am now v hungry
😋

I like tuna with salad cream, and mayonnaise on salads.

Mayonnaise with a bit of salad cream and paprika with boiled eggs in a sandwich is the one

I love salad cream dh hates it so we get mayo I treat myself sometimes and make "egg mayo" it's delicious.

Oo yes tuna and salad cream it's probably the vinegar that makes it delicious.

Love salad cream. Not with eggs, though. Full fat mayo and a smidge of mustard every time. And cress.

When I make a sandwich I do mayo one side, salad cream the other, works well.

Definitely salad cream if mashing in with boiled egg, far superior to mayo for an egg salad or sandwich.

Neither. Both are disgusting.

Depends what I'm eating!

Salad cream on salad... yum!

Tuna, salad cream, spring onion and black pepper on jacket potato, also yum!

When pregnant salad cream sandwiches! 🤣

To dip chips in, definitely mayo!

Tiger baton sandwich with chicken, shredded iceberg and mayo.

BLT definitely only works either way mayo.

Home made potato salad, half mayo, half salad cream and a big dollop of sour cream.

Oh and I only like Heinz light mayo or Tesco light mayo. Hate the full fat versions and I hate the lighter than light versions too!

Also if eggs are sliced and with a salad then I would have salad cream. But if they are chopped up small then they need mayo and cress and to be in a sandwich, preferably seeded bread with butter!

I like both
Salad cream goes on salads and mayonnaise is used as a chip dip or for mixing with pasta/rice.

Mayo all the way.
I also like to mix mayo with additional condiments...
Mayo and gravy
Mayo and Franks hot sauce
Mayo and soy sauce
Mayo mustard and ketchup
Mayo with mint sauce
Mayo with horseradish

DH only likes salad cream where DS only likes mayo. I like both. I can never get tuna mayo like you do at take outs and resturants. They probably use tons of mayo dont they. Any tips?

I find salad cream too sweet and 'artificial' tasting

We have both, they have different uses. I like egg mayo in a sandwich but would have salad cream on an egg salad.

Tuna, pasta, salad cream and mayo all mixed together was a favourite of the kids when they were small.

@treacledan71 . Mush your tuna to well mush more mayo than you need ever salt/pepper splash of malt vinegar and it tastes the same .
