I've heard of "salad cream" only from all the Brit TV I watch. Your comment about fish sandwiches just clicked for me - is this what we would call "tartar sauce" across the pond?
No, we also have tartare sauce and this isn't it.
If you get fish and chips in a restaurant it will probably come with tartare sauce, but tartare sauce is something you likely don't have in the fridge at home 100% of the time as it is of limited utility in the number of dishes it can be used in, and the jar probably goes off before you had a chance to eat it all.
Salad Cream is basically mayonnaise but made acidic with vinegar. So it's a suitable stand-in for tartare as it has that little kick, and it can also be used in many of the places mayonnaise can, such as a sandwich condiment, or a side for chips (=fries) etc.
Salad cream kinda works as a poor mans tartare sauce - I had it on fish fingers in my youth. Like a cheap, vinegary mayo
Fawlty towers specifically for me
Nope we have tartar sauce. Way nicer.
