When I was a kid, yes, but then I grew up and discovered mayonnaise.
Cold potatoes slathered in home made lemony garlic mayo.
Yep, i have posted a thread before praisng salad cream.
Mayo and saladcream are not the smae thing. They're both amazing but they are not the same thing, a mayo sandwhich would suck balls.
Take it up a notch dynati and get some sandwich spread
Surprisingly salad cream on a bacon butty isn't all that bad. Someone I worked with used to do it and I was very dubious about it until I tried it and it was pretty good, but tomato sauce is still the way to go.
Mayo and chili sauce sandwich here
I went to my uncle’s house one day and he made a tomato sauce sandwich.
My mum was absolutely horrified when I asked for it at home
tomatobrown sauce is still the way to go.
You’re welcome.
We grew up pretty poor, but there was always salad cream in the cupboard. We'd put it on whatever was otherwise too dry or plain.
I still once in a while put a splodge of it on a few dry crackers, which was one of my faves at the time.
Yes can’t beat salad cream sandwiches
Also cheese, salad cream and mint sauce is a good combo
Chicken Sunday roast , salad cream on the chicken breast, mixing in to the gravy
If it was was Sunday we had sliced tomatoes in as well.
Sandwich spread sandwiches were a packed lunch staple as a kid

You can hardly blame her, you're a grown man Timothy!

We used to get sandwich spread sarnies too, hated them. Also dripping and salt sarnies, loved them.
Salad cream and sliced beetroot is still a win for me. Sometimes use pickled chilli ones if i'm feeling a bit la di dah, and sometimes add crisps (prefably square) for a bit of crunch!
Family thinks it's weird, but I also like just English mustard on toast, no butter just mustard.
The wife looks at me, judging me, when I scoff a salad cream butty. She just doesn't get it.
Salad cream works with so many things, brilliant on a Margherita pizza.
Salad cream is simply vile.
Enhanced by adding prawn cocktail crisps for some crunch
The crisp and salad cream butty is a thing of beauty. Works great with cheese and onion and salt and vinegar too. Also fish finger butties
Salad Cream absolutely has to be Heinz though. It’s one of the things that the supermarket own brands just can’t get right
When we use to go to my nans as kids brown or tomato sauce sandwiches were given to us and seen as a real treat. My mum in an attempt to be 'new middle class' wouldnt allow us to even have them as condiments at dinner.
I sometimes have cheese, cucumber and salad sarnies - but really the cheese and cucumber are just an excuse for ten tons of salad cream to be added.
I’m presuming everybody else does the same and whenever actually eating a salad, the salad to salad cream ratio is about 50/50?
Yes.
Heinz sandwich spread (made with salad cream) is a staple in our house. Used when we run out of other fillings by the end of the week.
Salad cream and sliced beetroot
Add cheese for an awesome sandwich. Then we have re salad cream vs mayo;
a) Garlic Mayo and Lettuce sandwich
b) Egg and Tomato in a crusty French stick, where the egg is hard boiled egg cooled and mixed with Salad cream before applying generously to the bottom of the French stick, adding a layer of ripe tomatoes lightly seasoned with salt.
Try corned beef hash and salad cream sandwiches - a favourite of mine when I was younger!
As per Marmite, the answer is never Salad Cream.
Not had a salad cream sarnie in ages, want one now though! Sandwich spread's a blast from the past too.
Salad cream is the perfect addition to any cold pizza, also great on chips, on a fish finger sarnie .... the list goes on!

Yep.
I can lick the pate at the end.
The colour it goes if you've got beetroot is sublime.
Posted it before but Thoma's bakery outlets local to us will squirt a healthy dose of salad cream in to any sandwich ordered but with cheese savoury and salad is Michelin star worthy
Prefer a garnish of cheese in my salad cream sarnies.
Same with Branston pickle sarnies.
Sandwich spread looks like sick. I remember flatmate at uni putting sandwich spread on cheese on toast before grilling it. Not only did it look like sick, it actually had that acidic aroma of fresh chunder too.
Salad cream is underrated; goes on and enhances so many foods. We get through more salad cream than any other condiment but has to be Heinz

Pfft.
Burger Toast.
Salad cream with salt & vinegar crisps is a winning sandwich.

Can I give half a like?
Salad cream is simply vile.
I agree.
We grew up pretty poor, but there was always salad cream in the cupboard
I think a big part of my aversion to it is because of memories of growing up in poverty. We did't have it, but many other families did, and friends' mums would make us sarnies with salad cream in. Being brought up not to be rude about food I was given, and to always be grateful, I'd eat them even though I was trying not to gag. And I'd always say thank you afterwards. Which just meant that the mums thought I liked them. So I'd get them the next time I went round, and so on. I learned to avoid certain houses around meal times.
There was a whole plethora of nasty foodstuffs when I was a kid. Another hatred is Spam; truly horrible stuff. With the Spam fritter being the ultimate in nastiness; how can you make something already horrible even worse? Deep fry it in greasy batter. Ugh.
Piccalilli though; I'd eat that out of the jar if left unsupervised.
Fish Finger and Salad Cream sandwich (standard sliced white) FTW.
A mountain of grated cheese (proper grated though with good extra mature cheddar, using the big chunky grater, not the fine arieyfairey angels hair type grater that Mrs.P insists on using for some reason) mixed with a similar amount of salad cream & salt to taste. Make it into a lovely smooth spread and fill sandwiches, bread rolls or scoop the seeds out of a chuck of cucmuber and stuff that with it.
MMmmmmmmmm....
@ThePinkster - have you ever tried this stuff? Sounds like it’s right up your strasse. I bloody love the stuff! It’s pure filth! As the beetroot and salad cream combo has already been mentioned, this stuff combined with beetroot looks like a murder scene, but results in one of the finest butties known to man….
I'm sure I can remember salad cream sandwiches with sugar sprinkled on...
Fish Finger and Salad Cream sandwich (standard sliced white) FTW.
Absolutely.
Anyone suggesting ketchup on anything is either a wrong'n or a child
Absolutely! Lob a cheese single or two in there as well and you have fish finger butty nirvana
Stack a couple of potato waffles in while you're at it.
Why have I never thought of that before? I suppose hash browns would work too?

Not sure how those two would go together, but the sugar sandwich was quite the treat when at my aunties house.
Why have I never thought of that before? I suppose hash browns would work too?
Yes but not as well.
Remember Sandwich Spread? Loved it
