Variations

Heinz Sandwich Spread is considered a niche product and its main markets are within the UK and in parts of Canada. It has also become popular in Australia, Belgium and The Netherlands. The Dutch spread is sweeter and creamier with the red colour coming from red pepper. The Original recipe version includes carrots and a different blend of spices. Similar supermarket own brand products have included Seafood Sandwich Spread using a Thousand Island Dressing base.

Uses

In Britain, Sandwich Spread is a convenience lunchbox sandwich filling for both schoolchildren and adults. [1] Among adults, it may also fall into the category of comfort food through its association with childhood.

Sandwich Spread may be used alone as a sandwich filling or as a relish in cheese, tuna or sliced meat sandwiches. It is also used with salads, burgers, hot dogs, baked potatoes and omelettes. Its longer shelf life means it is sometimes substituted for coleslaw.

Many of the cakes and pastries that are popular in Central Europe originated within the Czech lands. Contemporary Czech cuisine is more meat-based than in previous periods; the current abundance of farmable meat has enriched its presence in regional cuisine. Traditionally, meat has been reserved for once-weekly consumption, typically on weekends. The body of Czech meals typically consists of two or more courses; the first course is traditionally soup, the second course is the main dish, and the third course can include supplementary courses, such as dessert or compote. In the Czech cuisine, thick soups and many kinds of sauces, both based on stewed or cooked vegetables and meats, often with cream, as well as baked meats with natural sauces (gravies), are popular dishes usually accompanied with beer, especially Pilsner, that Czechs consume the most in the world. Czech cuisine is also very strong in sweet main courses and desserts, a unique feature in European cuisines.
