Is it used on salads, or is that just a name?
I intensely dislike Miracle Whip, but I like salad cream quite a bit.
When I’d order a salad when we lived in the UK, it would sometimes come out with a big blob of salad cream on the side somewhere.
Traditionally it was what we had on salad in the UK back in the 50's and 60's. Mayonnaise didn't really exist unless you were posh!
Two pieces of lightly toasted bread, buttered.
Nutella added to one, peanut butter to the other.
Then some sliced banana.
Enjoy!
I sometimes will also add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on there.

Salad cream is a much maligned sauce. Like MG says it’s certainly not for everyone. I like using a good size splodge of it with the mayo in an egg n cress sandwich.
It became popular during WW2 because rationing meant eggs were precious items.
According to google it was first produced commercially by the American firm Heinz.

I had a hamburger sandwich last night (I buttered the inside of the bun and seared in a hot pan) with bacon, cheese, mayo, ketchup, mustard, and fresh sliced tomatoes.

Apparently miracle whip is good for making sandwiches that you’re gonna freeze. It doesn’t degrade when defrosted the same way dairy or mayo does.
Edit: I used butter anyway because Miracle whips a specialist shop thing here and I read the list of ingredients it contains and was instantly put off

But why would anyone make a sandwich to freeze if it's inedible?

Now onto the age-old question…when halving your sandwiches, how do you prefer to cut them, diagonally or vertically (maybe some will be cantankerous and say horizontally)?
It should go without saying, we’re talking the typical squarish sandwich, not an English muffin or bagel or hamburger bun sandwich, nor are we talking about cutting up sandwiches for afternoon tea. That’s something else entirely.
There are a lot of opinions expressed out there in the sandwich-verse, so what’s yours?
For me, if I’m cutting a sandwich in half, I prefer the diagonal cut, creating two triangles. MrsT, of course (because the universe has a perverse sense of humor) prefers hers cut vertically, to produce two rectangles.
My preference, though, is to not cut it at all, if possible.
Let’s hear from the rest of youse!
