Egg mayo is miles better as Egg salad cream.

Get one of these

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32-Bit- ... lsrc=aw.ds

link from google but just look for retromini - you should be able to get one for between £20 and £25 - it plays a lot of GBA games without any problems and has Advanced Wars pre-loaded :-)

**edit ** - £24 from the bay of E's

Another option would be to pick up a cheap DS Lite, although you'd still need to buy the game afterwards.

Yes. If I'm making tuna with mayo, I normally add vinegar.

Rubbing alcohol. Comes in very handy for cleaning cartridge contacts, hence all the cotton buds too.

A Yes Chef!s majority? It’s settled then.

I will add, however, salad cream on a BLT would be disgusting so mayo wins there.

Not convinced I'm pro as such. I haven't bought it or eaten it in years (although I rarely have mayo in the fridge either, I'm about as likely to make some fresh on the rare occasions I want some.) But I posit there are times when "what if mayo, but more vinegar" is a useful thing to have, and salad cream can be that.

Obviously in the realm of emulsified-egg-and-oil sauces, all of these are but feeble wretches in the face of of the twin kings of Hollandaise and Béarnaise .

Post subject:  Re: Bits and Bobs 50

There's some confusion here. I'll settle things:

Cras is very anti-salad cream.
Grim… seems pro-salad cream with tuna, which Sal also likes.
I am very pro-salad cream but prefer mayo with tuna.

So there's no real majority view here.
