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

I find salad cream too sweet and 'artificial' tasting

This. It makes up in sugar what it loses in fat. If I mix Mayo with anything it's more likely to be crème fraîche. I will use aioli on occasion though, even though the commercial versions are somewhat in the SC mould.

Salad cream with new potatoes and a ham salad sandwich. Mayonnaise with chips and a chicken salad sandwich - has to be Heinz too (Hellmans has an artificial taste).

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

@Mrsjayy thank you. Will give it a go.

@Mrsjayy thank you. Will give it a go.

Also if you have time cover and put it in the fridge for an hour .

Both but I can't bear Hellmans, so bland and gloopy. Light ones are disgusting too. French style mayo with mustard is the best, preferably homemade (I make a jar most weeks). I do love salad cream with chips or cheese though.

Salad cream mixed with grated cheddar was my childhood favourite and I still enjoy it now
I can't stand mayonnaise
