Is that what we term mayonnaise or salad dressing here in the USA?

Do you put this in mayonaise?

"Spirit Vinegar, Canola Oil, Water, Sugar, Mustard, Salt, Egg Yolks,
Modified Corn Flour, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Colored with Riboflavin."

There's that xanthan gum again. So that explains Trump AND the Brexit!
It's bad for the brain.

Sounds like Miracle Whip:

water, soybean oil, high-fructose corn syrup, vinegar, modified corn starch, eggs, salt, natural flavor, mustard flour, potassium sorbate, paprika, spice, and dried garlic

Maybe a little more mustardy

Oh well, to each side of the pond their own science projects.

It's not what Brit cooks term mayonnaise, or salad dressing. It's
ersatz junkfood, the sort of stuff a non-cook adds to their tasteless
bland readymade crap to lubricate swallowing it.

But it's "one of the UK's most traditional condiments"!

Not straight out of the jar but when I was a kid, that's all my
mom ever bought. It was spread straight on sandwiches and mixed
with ketchup for salads. Once I got out on my own (age 20) I
switched to mayo. I still like mayo and ketchup for salad
dressing.

Add a thousand pickle bits and you get what?

Yep. that's good too. I keep italian salad dressing on hand to
put on sandwiches often...especially like a sub sandwich. Just
that will take a sandwich over the top.

When I make a sub sandwich at home, I sprinkle on some oregano and
drizzle with red wine vinegar and EVOO. We don't keep any bottled
salad dressing, but I have some Hidden Valley Ranch mix to add
to yogurt when I want a little veggie dip.

Hidden Valley Dressing, Ranch:
"Soybean Oil, Water, Egg Yolk, Sugar, Salt, Cultures Nonfat
Buttermilk, Natural Flavors (Soy), Spices, Less than 1% of: Dried
Garlic, Dried Onion, Vinegar, Phosphoric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Modified
Food Starch, Monosodium Glutamate, Artificial Flavors, Disodium
Phosphates, Sorbic Acid and Calcium Disodium EDTA as Preservatives,
Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate."

I'm starting to think that all these products are actually the same.
That would be a big money saver for the industry. Just vary the
packaging and the advertising.
