Isn't that the same stuff as reduced-fat imitation mayo?

I have no idea George since I've only ever tried it once. That was Heinz
Salad Cream and it sat in my fridge for some time before I threw it out.

I'd bought it for a recipe which I didn't make because the Heinz product was
so nasty but it occured to me that it once may have been a home made salad
dressing that Mr Heinz decided to reproduce commercially and, IMO, does very
poorly.

I have found a couple of recipe in Fannie Farmer but not in any local
cookbooks so perhaps it is a traditional American recipe?????? I ntoice
that resposne have'nt come in fast and furious so perhaps I should just try
one of the FF recipes to see if it suits.

I've always assumed it was a foreign product, probably British (but
maybe Australian), because the only time I've seen it mentioned is on
usenet.

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.

So far as I know salad cream is a commercial product, most
commonly found in the British Isles, and I have never heard of
anyone making it at home. Probably, no attempt at a home-made
salad cream could come out as utterly bad as the store-bought
product is expected to be, so why bother.

To those of us in North America, it resembles a slightly less
thick Miracle Whip.

Truly atrocoius stuff.

The cookbook that came with Kenwood mixers had a recipe IIRC. Mind you, it
had mustard in it so it probably ended up tasting like heinz's.

Thank you Graham. I'll check it out if I can find my kenwood book. Since
Kenwood is a UK brand perhaps sf is right about it being a UK recipe.

I can probably look through some Kenwood booklets tomorrow, if you
would like me to. (I've been sorting ephemera, so they should be
findable.)

Oh, looking back, I see you want a TNT recipe. Any that I find
would not be.

Yipee! Thank you Ian. It sounds like it might end up being of the sort of
consistency of the Heinz Salad Cream and those ingredients might even taste
like a decent dressing should.

Do you know where to find Anchovy Essence in Australia or would you
substitute Worcestershire sauce?

Yep, I sure do know where to buy it but I'm pretty sure it's called anchovy
sauce here. At least that is what I would use. And I certainly wouldn't
substitute Worcestershire sauce for it as that's not the same thing at all.

I am surprised to see the anchovy essence in it. That strikes me
as unusual (but that is, of course, from a USian perspective).

It's only a tspn and it should add some piquancy but in all that vinegar,
might not. Maybe it should be more than a tspn.

It was very popular in England in the 1950s and 1960s. It came in a
bottle made by Heinz. It's also disgusting. Anyone who wants to make
it must be nuts.
