I'm an Australian born in England - what on earth is salad cream? Let alone "Miracle Whip"!?!?! I'm going to assume this is some form of mayonnaise until told

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Whip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Whip It's fake mayonnaise essentially. From Wikipedia: "Current primary ingredients are water, soybean oil, vinegar, sugar, modified corn starch, eggs. Ingredients making up less than 2% of product include salt, mustard flour, paprika, spice, natural flavor, potassium sorbate, enzyme modified egg yolk, and dried garlic."

    That sounds vaguely like what I know as "light mayonnaise", essentially mayo cut with more oil & water and some emulsifiers, and less egg. Is it a matter of degree, e.g. some proportion is "light mayo" and another proportion is "salad cream" or "miracle whip"?

      I call it cheapo mayo with just enough corn stash to benefit from government invectives on corn products.

    Well, kinda. It's got a strong vinegarish flavour and some mustard to it. I'd say it's more of a mayonnaise-based salad dressing than an actual mayo.

      It's basically weak, pickle-less tartar sauce.

  I live in Scotland - What on earth is salad?

    I suggest you ask a Russian to make you a salad. It would break you in gently to the world of salad eating, I think you would enjoy it :]

    I live in Scotland too, what's this toasting thing? Is it the same as deep fat frying my bread?
