Nope. I have see it, I think, as "salad cream," at a Brit specialty
store or online. Worth a try?

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

Modified corn flour, instead of plain old regular corn flour, is a
subtle touch.

I think so! You might curse me afterwards:-)
I bought some once out of nostalgia and my then young Canadian sons
discovered it and raved about it. On trips to the UK. I would buy
several one litre jars for them and in-laws used to bring some when they
visited. It's different!

I think salad cream tastes dreadful, but I know many people really like it.

It is one of those items that seems to be love it or hate it.

Is it used as a sandwich spread or in salad dressing?

About 40 years ago, I was recovering from the flu and had a sudden
craving for it (along with Camp Coffee!!!!!) and discovered both in a
supermarket with a big import section. I haven't had that coffee since!!
It's strange what a fever will do to one's taste buds:-)

What do you mean by "Camp Coffee" and why were you craving it vs. other
coffee?

If it's still made it is a coffee and chickory flavoured syrup. Awful
stuff but, as I wrote, fevers can produce strange cravings.

I think that in the UK, it was more or less traditional to put a dollop
on the side of the plate in which to dip the salad bits. It wasn't used
to toss a salad.
My sons used it in place of butter in sandwiches.

That's how I use it with a salad, never used it in sandwiches.

I wonder how salad cream with lettuce tomato peppers and plenty of salt would taste on a cheese steak with griddle-toasted bread.

BTW if you do try it, buy the Heinz version. Some import sections may
have the Cross & Blackwell salad cream which is even more of an acqired
taste.

I quite like it but it is different and I don't think I would use it
to make spud salad or such. Can't really describe the taste, it's
individual.
