Are you sitting comfortably, then I'll begin;
This online shop came about through frustration - I do not like Mayonnaise - bear with me ☺ my tipple is Salad Cream and when I'm out and about and have a sandwich, a salad, a burger or whatever, I can sometimes get it served without Mayo - but can rarely get Salad Cream as a replacement. Naturally, whilst at home it's not a problem, as we have jars in abundance.
I had searched for many, many, many, many, many years (honestly, it was that many, manys!) for Salad Cream in sachets, so that I could have some in the car; ready for those emergencies when I'm out and lumbered with the dreaded Mayonnaise!
Could I find Salad Cream sachets for sale? no I could not! Well that's not quite true, because if you're in the 'trade' you can perhaps, get membership to a wholesale warehouse and buy sachets of Salad Cream, but they tend to sell them in boxes of 200! Assuming I could buy a box, what would I do with 200 sachets of Salad Cream - as the family only eat Mayo? ( AND because Salad Cream is so rare, you can't 'nick' any from fast food or motorway service places ! ) ( ...... life is tough ! )
It then occured to me, there might be other people in the UK who would like to buy beverages, sauces, jams etc. in small quantities; especially Campers, Hikers, Climbers, Walkers, Ramblers, Cyclists, Sailors, Explorers, Caravanners, Skiers, Scouts, Girl Guides, (even School Children?); I guess I mean, anyone that has to carry their 'home' or their 'lunch' on their back - so here we are. (and let's not forget Picnics + Students + Self Catering Holidays etc)
...and yes - you're right - I do now, have sachets of Salad Cream in the car, the caravan, the tent, the lunch box, the handbag, the backpack, the rucksack, the briefcase; in fact all over the place - along with lots of other condiments as well! They're great at home as well - so much more convenient to have single portions and not have out of date half used jars in the back of the cupboard growing mould - why not try a few? - remember, they are single portions, so nothing wasted and after all, variety is the spice of life! So why not try some of the more unusual - BBQ Sauce - Mint Sauce - Horseradish Sauce - Tartare Sauce - Marmite - Chocolate Spread - Branston Pickle etc - you only need to buy one to try and if you don't like it, don't buy any more !
Happy shopping
