    Mayo? I'm sure I've always used salad cream when I've done it.

    Try both.

    I always add worcester sauce to mine and a drop or 2 of tabasco if it's just for us and leave that out for company in case it makes it too spicy. As well as the flavour I like that he worcester sauce calms down the pinkness a bit and makes it look more homemade. If I'm feeling posh I dust a little paprika on top of the finished dish to make it look restauraunty!

    I use mayo, ketchup and English mustard for mine. I used to use salad cream but it get too acidic if you eat it by the bucket full.

    my mum makes it with mayo, tomato sauce and a bit of condensed milk!! Sounds strange but it makes it really creamy and sticks it all together. :)
  • I make it in a similar way to the other posters, Mayo, tomato sauce, bit of lemon juice, worcester sauce, pinch of white pepper, and then some cayenne and smoked paprika sprinkles on top.
  • I like salad cream tomato sauce and a shake of cayenne pepper!
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p
