Interesting! How does that sit with a veggie like yourself then? I mean you've chosen not not eat meat or fish for one reason or another - don't know if it's ethical, taste, health reasons, whatever, it's none of my business - but does it bother you that the foods you eat are being made to 'look' like foods you chose not to eat?

Nope.

My rule is simple "don't eat anything with a face" (I know, I know... can be broken)

No animal died to fuel my diet and that's what I'm happy with and where it ends with me. My mate put it really well years ago: There are two types of vegetarians: Veggie Vegetarians and Meat Vegetarians. I'm the latter.

The former are the weird meal types you know the obscure combination meals that look vaguely like something died on the plate after throwing up.

The latter are the ones who just substituted the meat bit of the meal with a veggie alternative. My meals look the same as non-veggies, they just have different contents.

The way I see it is salad cream is for old people, mayo is for "younger" people.

Never liked salad cream, but will put mayo on most foodstuffs. Mixed with lime pickle on a chicken sandwich it is sublime. And forget the expensive brands, cheapo supermarket stuff every time.

Salad cream. Gorgeous on a black pudding sandwich. (I'm a walking northern cliché)

Mayo is one of my favourites but I don't used the stuff toooo much as it can be fatty...

Cheddar cheese with spring onion, crusty cob and use the salad cream to stop the onion falling out.

Olives suck.

Condiment of choice is Encona West Indian Hot Pepper Sauce.

Hotter sauces are available, and I have plenty of them, but Encona wins.

God, I could really eat that now. You can forget your fancy chutneys and chilli jam things - nothing goes better with cheese than salad cream.

I agree that there is something simply beautiful about a cheese and salad cream (Insert bread of choice here).

the cheese does have to be grated though.

Agreed. Has to be proper butter on white farmhouse loaf too.

Nah. Make your own. Gastric reduction, red wine vinegar and jam sugar for preference, tinned roasted peppers, roasted garlic cloves, toasted fennel seed and cumin seed and whatever chillies you have lying around. I find about 50:25:25 Jalapeno, Hot Wax and Bhot Jolokai hits the sweet spot nicely. Boil, blitz, pass. Job done. Lasts for months.

Is that a required step, or the end result? :shock:

As if the hot sauce isn't enough you want to wax as well??? :shock:

Good to see the comments about salad cream with cheese. I have mayo with everything except cheese sandwiches which get salad cream.

Sorry, Gastrique. I try to avoid French cooking terms because they come across a bit knobby. Equal mass sugar and vinegar boiled down.
