Heinz salad cream

Does anyone use salad cream on a salad nowadays ? Apart from when mixed with tomato sauce and used with prawn and avocado ?

Perhaps it should be rebranded "Grannies Relish"

Would you care for some more  salad cream, Sir?

To be fair to Kraft (not someone one normally likes doing), Bob, they're only "considering" renaming it.

There's a period of consultation, and they'll be making an announcement in September.

I've always hated the stuff, but renaming a much-loved brand after a century seems absolutely daft. Back in the 1990s, Heinz considered dropping it altogether but backtracked after an outcry.

Pan Yan Pickle. Now that was a thing of beauty...

Pick up your pitch forks and flaming torches, we're off to the Houses of Parliament  - this time they have gone too far.

These could do with a rebranding

Perfect for egg salad; nicer than mayo then IMO. 

I am in a mixed house on Salad Cream.   My wife invariably uses it on a salad,   I will use it only when salad is not so fresh.  My prefered salad dressing is one of a number of my own mixes based on olive oil, white or balsamic & crushed garlic if its really juicy.   

Whatever it will be a sad day if it does get renamed; who on earth uses it in a sandwich - yuk.      ohh wait a minute, Heinz is a US company, right ?? nuff said.   

only olive oil with a touch of mayonnaise and pepper.  but mostly olive oil only.  French people use “ vinaigrette “, which is olive oil with salt, mustard and vinegar.   I don’t like it.

Our local lunch shop sells pre-made rolls with ham, cheddar, lettuce and - neatly packed underneath - a discrete ‘sachet’ of salad cream. Out of sight. The ‘top shelf’ of salad dressings.

Had one today.

Yum.

Absolutely. Add some bread, wine and tomatoes and it is all one needs.

I've already educated my kids the differences between all these crappy sauces and they seem to prefer either olive oil or mayonnaise - good, real mayonnaise.

It was a few years ago in a supermarket in Cardiff that I got a 'meal deal'. Some sandwich, crisps and soda drink. I checked ingredients and the crisps were the healthiest part of my meal ...

At least they are 'considering'! Waitrose simply discontinued their 'Apple and Walnut Chutney' without any 'considering'.

Is the the Miracle Whip we grew up with?

if so, good riddance I say.  

Can someone with more technical knowledge than me post the Fawlty Towers “salad cream” scetch. John Cleese at his brilliant best.

It's a sad day when Brett Anderson's description of his upbringing, 'Salad Cream and milky tea and cheap meat', is made one third less meaningful.
