It was originally a cheap mayo substitute created during UK rationing days. The flavor stuck...I guess anything added tastes good on a bacon butty. >.<

It must be regional then...in New England, there's tons of places with vinegar...sandwich shops mostly (try Subway...just make sure it's vinegar, not vinegrette) but fast food joints often have them too if the management doesn't have their head up their ass (That last part is from experience...I used to run a Burger King).
Actually, you're more likely to get red wine vinegar at sandwich shops, come to think of it. Malt vinegar is more the fast food thing.
Also...why are you people even worrying about vinegar in packets?! If you don't want to make an absolute mess (vinegar's surface tension is less than water, making it harder to pour from a packet), just buy a squeeze bottle of it at the local supermarket! XD
nekowafer:
I will often see vinegar offered as a condiment, but it's usually in a bottle or something like that. I've just never seen it in packets.
Salad cream sounds gross to me too. And I can't wrap my head around mayo in packets - I know it's fine but why doesn't it go bad?
Redball:
I'd never heard of salad cream until today. Looked it up on Wiki, and saw as I suspected that it "resembles" salad dressing, which to me "resembles" mayo. The Wikipedia entry said it's sold in a number of East Coast grocery chains, Stop&Shop included, and also in the Meijer's stores in my part of the Midwest. I'm not tempted. I add salad dressing and pickle relish to my canned tuna for sandwiches. That's enough.

For the same reason it doesn't go bad in the jar, until you open it up. :laugh: It's pasteurized. Completely sterile inside, no microorganisms to feast upon it...until you deflower it, taking away its innocence and corrupting it to the hell that is this world. And the tasty burger on which it will draw its last breath.

Interesting...I will have to try that. What kind of dressing?
henri bemis:
I think I'm going to have nightmares because salad cream exists. I already hated mayo, and finding out that there's something worse?
I am just going to sit in a corner and snuggle my hot sauce for a bit.
