Salad Cream in Canada?
 
Hi guys, we are heading for Vancouver at the end of December. Amongst other really important things, one thing I really would like to know is.... Can you buy Heinz Salad Cream in Canada? I can cope with most cultural differences, but subsituting Salad Cream for Mayo will cause me havoc!!

:D :D :D

You can get it, it's sub-titled "English Dressing" or something strange like that.
It's expensive though, and annoyingly only available in glass bottles that attract lots of yellowy goo around the lid, and of course you can't get the last bit out.

Thanks for the advice guys. I can now confidently make the move from the UK.

Adding a bit of vinegar tends to encourage those last bits of 'English Dressing' out of the jar. Not that I am addicted or anything.... :eek:

I remember I used to absolutely love Salad Cream, however, I now find it has rather a strong taste for me. I still eat it sometimes. I bought a bottle of The Keg Dijon dressing - something like that - from Sobey's and it tastes very much like Salad Cream.

I knew a girl in Leeds who ate Salad Cream with everything. Is this a Leeds thing? :)

My brother puts sweet chilli sauce (that oriental style stuff) on his roasts. Looks very bizarre mixed in with gravy.

Personally, I put habanero or scotch bonnet sauces on everything. :p
