Advantages: Low in calories

Disadvantages: Vinegary taste, revolting appearance

When I was a child sandwich spread was something that we often had in sandwiches. It was always spread very thinly as there were four children in the family and I suppose it was comparatively expensive way back then.

I used to like it but I really cannot stand the smell or the sight of it now. It comes in glass jars with a screw top and is made by Heinz. It is a hotch potch of chopped up vegetable in a yellowy, mayonnaise come salad cream kind of sauce.

The little red bits that are everywhere are minute bits of red pepper. There are also clear things, green bits and stringy bits. The overall flavour is enough to make your mouth screw up with the vinegar taste.

I think the recipe must have changed over the years because I used to like sandwich spread. It could be that my taste buds have changed too, I suppose.

It is off putting to look at and to quote Claribella on this yes, 'It looks like sick'. (A perfect choice of words to describe the appearance.)

This is certainly not one of my favourites and I will not buy it again for myself. However, I know that my sister recommends it as part of her calorie controlled diet. A teaspoonful contains just 11 calories, so it's an excellent spread for anyone watching their weight.

As for me, I'd rather go without than have to eat this but I do have to admit that aversion to it has more to do with the way it looks than how it tastes.

Summary: Unpleasant looking acidy tasting spread
