Putting ANY type of condiment on pizza should be a crime against humanity.

I feel like people can do what they want with their pizza, but personally I don't put condiments on my pizza. When I first noticed & heard about people dipping their pizza in things like ranch dressing, melted garlic butter, etc., I thought it was a little weird, since I'd never done that and hadn't heard about people doing that before..

I like pineapple on pizza though, and some people say they think that's a crime against humanity..

Putting ANY type of condiment on pizza should be a crime against humanity.

Which is why I only use ketchup, or honey-n-butter, on left-over crusts,
and only if I don't have any garlic sauce or butter.

I've dipped my crust in ranch, garlic butter, or maranara before, once the toppings are gone. ;)

I didn't think it was /bad/ when I tried it a couple of times, but it's definitely not something I'd order for myself. I tend to like just about anything that would normally come on a supreme pizza, minus the green peppers.

Nothing too nefarious.
Salad cream is a mixture of oil, eggs, vinegar, and a range of spices and herbs. Salad cream can be compared to mayo but it has a few key differences that set it apart from regular mayonnaise.
I was too scared to try it, but next time I visit one of their grocery stores I'll bring a bottle home.

I tend to prefer that type of pizza too, including green pepper. :) I also see a lot of pizza restaurants call it "combination" pizza.

Years ago, at my first job, one of my co-workers was ordering pizza for us and he asked what kind I like, and I said combination. Apparently he had never heard of that though and he said "what does that mean?"

I've heard it's something in the UK comparable to Miracle Whip in the US.

And until recently, I didn't realize Miracle Whip is mainly just a North American thing..

I've seen it called that before, but it's not very common around here. Most of the time it's called supreme, unless restaurants try to put their own spin on whatever they want to name it to suit their menu better.

The best way I can think to describe salad cream is this:

You know how you have mayonnaise in a jar and it's good... then you have mayonnaise in the sachets which is a bit like real mayonnaise but tastes more vinegar-ey and nasty... well if you continue that trend a bit further you get salad cream.

Hi, UG.

Next trip I will buy some store brand salad cream and maybe some Robinsons Relish.

I imagine off-brand salad cream is pretty variable - most people stick to Heinz for sauces (particularly ketchup) even if they aren't normally fussy about brands.

I'm not sure I've ever seen Robinsons relish? Google seems to be struggling a bit too, it seems to rather point me at Robinson's squash (cordial type drink if that word doesn't travel well) or Henderson's relish which seems to be some kind of Worcestershire sauce. Both are fairly typical Brit food that I don't remember seeing anywhere outside the UK or holiday resorts with a lot of Brits.

I bought me some Maramite in my luggage last month and a box of wheatabix.

Heha - when you've lived in a country all your life you don't realise what weird things you have that are not universal across the world. I was vaguely aware that Marmite was mostly a UK thing, though the Australians have Vegemite which seems to be the same. I always assumed that Weetabix was a global thing, though.

I guess your Weetabix were mostly dust by the time you got them home, no?

Yeah, I'm from the US, and until recently, I thought Miracle Whip was fairly common around the world, but it turns out it's mainly a North American (US & Canada) thing. I posted something about Miracle Whip online and some people from the UK said they thought it sounded like it could be whipped cream or something (with some commenting they thought it would be common for Americans to put whipped cream on anything, which isn't true)..

For those unfamiliar, Miracle Whip is made by Kraft Foods and is very similar to mayonnaise, but it has a sweeter taste:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Whip

I usually use it on sandwiches (like mayonnaise) and in tuna salad. And apparently there are a lot of people in the US who don't like Miracle Whip (which was also news to me; I didn't realize it was such a disliked condiment).

I have to admit, the idea of (even slightly) sweeter mayonnaise would not appeal to me!

On a related note, our friend was telling us on the weekend that her son had gone to Subway and bought some cookies that came with a caramel dip. They informed him they'd run out of caramel and asked if he'd like some mayonnaise instead.

An offer so bad that even a kid wouldn't take it!
