In praise of - salad cream.

There are many meals I enjoyed eating when I was younger, with my mum's macaroni cheese, sausages dipped in HP sauce and French toast at the top of the list.

My all-time favourite lunch was a salad sandwich doused in salad cream.

Popularised by Heinz, salad cream – a concoction made of emulsified egg yolk and spirit vinegar – was an essential ingredient in the salad sandwich. Pan bread, iceberg lettuce, cucumber and spring onion were all pieced together and smeared with the stuff.
