That's interesting. If it was an Aussie dressing I'm sure it'd be in my
cookbooks, especillayt he older ones somewhere and so far, no luck there.
I'd assumed that because it was a Heinz product that it might be an older
American recipe. Now I'm wondering if Heinz is a British company. But
then salad is not what comes to mind when I think of British food and
certainly not any form of salad dressing.

You do realise that you've piqued my curiosity yet again and now I'm going
to have to start another hunt to satisfy my curiosity? Last night's hunt
for info on Leonidas and the Hot Gates. Boned up on that so now I need
something new to learn about so it may as well be salad cream and it's
origins.
