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!!

You sure can, i have a bottle in my fridge right now, I get mine at Sobeys in the condiments aisle. and you can also get it in No Frills. im not sure if these stores are in Vancouver, but im sure you will get more replies.

I'm with you on that

Also at Great Canadian Super Store (or whatever the big Green places are called).

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....

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.

All this salad cream talk has made me hungary (Big thick crust with butter and salad cream ) Mmmmmmmm

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

The Edge

Either it is a Leeds thing or the girl you knew in Leeds was my other half!!

I used to know somwone that put red sauce on everything, including his sunday roast. EER

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.

I withdraw my earlier statement, I know nobody in Leeds and i've never been there in my life!

i bought salad cream from the uk shop , ( i thought i bought a case of it !! ) but i have bought the bottle from no frills , it has a slightly more vinagery taste but that may just be me , kids are fine with it.
