I tried salad cream from nine supermarkets - winner was £1.40 cheaper than Heinz
We tried salad creams from Asda, Aldi, Lidl, M&S, Waitrose, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's to see which was the best and how they compared to iconic brand Heinz. Salad cream, with its tangy kick and creamy texture, is a staple in many British households. Often used as a salad dressing, sandwich spread or even a dip, this pale condiment owes its unique flavour to vinegar. The first commercially produced salad cream was introduced by Heinz in 1914, after eight years of perfecting the recipe. Since then, various supermarkets have launched their own versions of this iconic sauce. I recently put salad creams from Asda, Aldi, Lidl, M&S, Waitrose, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's to the test to see how they stack up against the original Heinz, reports the Express. 1. Asda - £2 for 420g This one was a hit, pairing well with both bread and salad items like cucumber. Score: 7/10. 2. Aldi - 99p for 520g While it didn't quite measure up to the competition, it wasn't unpleasant. Score: 5/10. 3. Lidl - £1.09 for 500ml This version was deemed too tangy compared to others and didn't make for an enjoyable eating experience. Score: 3/10. 4. M&S - £1.50 for 440g This condiment shone when used in a sandwich, especially when other ingredients were present to balance out the cream. Score: 6/10. 5. Waitrose - £1.55 for 450g With a noticeable mustard flavour, it didn't fare well as a dip or on bread, which was a letdown. Score: 2/10. 6. Morrisons - £1.60 for 420g This one leaned more towards mayonnaise than any other salad cream we sampled. Score: 5/10. 7. Tesco - £1.70 for 450ml The product lacked a bit of punch in the flavour department, which was disappointing, but it did pair well with cheese and crusty bread. Score: 5/10. 8. Heinz - £3 for 425g This one had a pleasing texture, although it was a tad too runny, resulting in it pouring out of the bottle without any squeeze. 9. Sainsbury's - £1.60 for 420g This salad cream was full of flavour without being overly tangy and boasted an excellent consistency. It emerged as the winner in our taste test, and considering its price, it certainly outshone Heinz.

‘Not appropriate for school at all' cry parents as they're left divided by Asda's new £8 ‘cropped' summer uniform
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE'S no doubt about it, schools can be very strict when it comes to uniforms for kids. From set colours to skirt lengths and shoe options, there's lots of factors that could get your little one sent home from the classroom. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A new addition to Asda's school uniform range has left parents divided Credit: Alamy 2 Some people have insisted the top is 'inappropriate' Credit: Facebook/Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK But major supermarkets always offer school uniforms on a budget that meet the dress code. Aldi, Tesco and Sainsbury's are all launching back to school ranges from June 15 with prices starting from £1.50. And Asda sells school uniform all year round in store and online with more than 500 lines available online. Shoppers can get backpacks for £16, crew neck tops for £2 and polo shirts from £3, as well as lunchboxes and stationery. But a recent £8 addition to the supermarket's summer uniform has left parents divided on social media. The conversation was sparked after a delighted gran shared her bargain find on Facebook. Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, which boasts 2.6million members, she said: "My grandaughter is not one for wearing dresses so got her this short set for school for the summer." The Gingham Top and Short School Set is available in sizes three to 14 and is available in light blue, navy, red, yellow, lilac, red, yellow and green. The picture of the summer uniform racked up more than 1,700 comments with the tie-front on the top being the hot topic. Many slammed the 'cropped' look of it as inappropriate and claimed their child's school wouldn't allow it. I make the UK's most controversial school uniform One fumed: "This isn't appropriate for any occasion or age let alone a school setting." A second wrote: "Would not be letting my child leave the house in a crop top under that age of 11 never mind to school!" A third echoed: "Not appropriate for school at all. I doubt schools would allow this uniform. My children's school wouldn't!" "My girls head teacher would have a coronary", a fourth claimed. A fifth added: "Not a chance would I let my girls 7/5 wear a top like that let alone for school! Why can't kids be kids!" Meanwhile, a sixth revealed: "Just a heads up, my daughter's friend wore this to school and got sent home at they said it wasn't appropriate uniform." Co-ord defence Others, however, are loving the practicality of the gingham co-ord and insisted the top is school-appropriate. One insisted: "My daughter has this and it's definitely not cropped. She's pretty average height and the knot detail sits exactly where the waist and of the shorts sit. "If you're worried put a vest underneath in case it rides up." A second sighed: "I can't believe how many people are complaining that it's a crop top.. it's for a CHILD who are significantly smaller than adults. "It looks smaller as it is designed to fit a children's body. It's concerning how quick some people are to sexualise children's clothing. "Let's focus on protecting kids, not projecting adult assumptions onto innocent outfits." "I think these are great instead of the dresses and then having to wear shorts under it. Perfect for summer", chimed in a third. A fourth wrote: "White vest underneath solves the issues for the Karen's. My daughter would love this set, looking as we speak." A fifth added: "My daughter has this for school, she likes it because it's more comfortable than a gingham dress (it's a lot looser around the body and arms) and she doesn't have to wear cycling shorts underneath so feels cooler. "And no it's not cropped, there's elastic with a bow so that it doesn't fly up when they are cartwheeling across the field or hanging upside down on the monkey bars! The shorts are also a nice length, they aren't super short." Meanwhile, a sixth pointed out: "It's just the same as a gingham dress, or gingham playsuit- but easier for the kids to go to the toilet."
