Salad cream

So this month's project continues: Erin's food.  Beginning with salad, the first hunt is for a name brand salad dressing.  I went to a couple of supermarkets, and all I found was 1000 island dressing.  Who can blame them, the locals don't eat salads.  There is a bigger supermarket a little further drive away, and there I found salad cream.  Imported salad cream.  Yes, this stuff is actually made in the UK.  I was chatting with others in the chat room about what products are still made in the UK.  This particular dressing is one I remember from childhood, and I really like it.
Let's see, what's in it?  Looks like it's mostly mustard and egg yolk mayo.  They used rapeseed oil, which could be a factor.  Different oils have different flavors, and I can't afford olive oil.  But I could probably duplicate this.  But not with rapeseed oil.
No Honey, I haven't made the salad yet.  It took me a couple of days just to find an acceptable name brand dressing.  Tomorrow I'll head out to the market to get some local greens inshaAllah.  They had romaine and iceberg lettuce at the supermarket, but who wants that huh?  Maybe next time.

Natty Honey, how are your midterms coming along?  I hope you do great.  What's your major by the way?  You never told me.  But let's get down to business.  Did you see the movie I asked you to watch?  Oh if you were busy with your exams, I understand.  But please try to watch the movies I ask you to watch when I ask you to watch them.  Unless of course YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT THE MOVIE BUSINESS.  Next I want you to watch The Godfather part 2.  It's not personal, Honey.  It's strictly business.
