Mayo on the other hand, is delicious.

I love mayo and miracle whip has a bizarre flavor.

Plus, only real mayo works for making ranch dressing. Miracle Whip makes it inedible.

MW in potato salad and in pea salad is awful too!

Miracle Hwip is vile.

I won't touch it i hate looking at it and I hate making it.

But my father hated it. Said it was gong to rot my stomache.

but it sure tastes like egg salad. Mmmmm! I went vegan a few months ago

Mayo for anything turkey related be it turkey salad sandwiches after thanksgiving/christmas or turkey slices from the deli.

MW for baloney and tuna.


Interchangeable for most everything else.

But my best friend from when I lived in Texas haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated mayo and MW. He didn't much like ketchup either so he put mustard on everything. Which is good because I learned form him to like mustard on a lot of stuff.

Now, some things can ONLY be mustard - hot dogs/corn dogs are mustard only. Relish and kraut are fine but no other sauce. Well, unless you count chili as a sauce. And I will tear up a true Chicago dog*. There's a few places around here that make them pretty well and they get a lot of my hot dog money.





*by "a true Chicago dog" I mean "several true Chicago dogs"

But since I moved to Texas I've had to learn to ask for no mayo on burgers and I forgot today.

Yuck.

It's amazing. I use it for everything. It's right up there with butter as a staple item for me for which there is no appropriate substitute. My favorite is Duke's-brand full-fat (Whaaa! No, get that reduced-fat crap outta my kitchen! Ya bes' represent.) mayonnaise.

Or even buffalo milk for mozzarella Fuck it if I'm gonna eat it I'm gonna enjoy it

I was never a big mayo person anyway, loved mustard.

A few years ago, a friend said the only brand she ever buy's is the Duke. I was surprised to hear her saying that.

I bought it, and I'm not going back. Hubby loved it, and he was solidly in the Hellman's corner. it was one of the very few condiments that he was brand loyal about, Duke is his brand now.

I think the most famous brand is Kewpie with a baby on the bottle. It's good stuff, don't have it often though.

Just thinking about eating it gives me the willies

They all come with mayo mustard and ketchup. I can deal with mustard and ketchup but not mayo. So since I moved here I've had to learn to ask for no mayo. But I know I do things weird to them like malt vinegar with fries and onion rings

I also have a friend that uses ricotta in place of mayo in alot of salads

I am squeamish about food in general, so I actually try not to look at what I'm eating.

Miracle Whip, no way.

I tried to overlook it whenever mayo would make the occasional racist or homophobic joke. Down here in the South, you get used to hearing crap like that, and it's too commonplace to take a confrontational stand every single time.

But when mayo went full-on holocaust denier, I called it quits.

Mayo is disgusting, and I'll have nothing else to do with it.

I was brought up on mayo and miracle whip; it wasn't until adulthood/independence that I began to realize I really hated it.

I won't use mayo for anything. Not sandwiches, not potato salad, no dressing of any kind...you will not find it in my house.

But other than that I don't buy it.

that if they want it, they'll have to bring it, and that if it doesn't leave with them, it leaves in the garbage. Spend money on it? No way.

when they come to my house. I always have really good deli mustard has horseradish and all the yummy stiff in it

I'm a mustard lover, lol.

Used to hate mayo, and love mustard. Now it's the other way around. Unless we're taking putting mayo on french fires. Now THAT is disgusting. Anyone who puts mayo on fries should be flogged. The only thing that goes with fries is Ketchup. And by Ketchup, I mean TOMATO Ketchup. And the only TRUE Tomato Ketchup is Heinz 57.

I would just consider you a poor misguided child whom has lost their way.

I would witness to you in an attempt save you from eternal damnation, by making you understand that God made French Fries and Ketchup to go together. The anointing of the Holy French Fry by anything other than Tomato Ketchup is a terrible sin.

They love them some mayo on their fries. And I have to agree it's nice

the way they were intended to be dressed.

Veganaise is great stuff!

It's really bad for you but it really makes most any dish it's in, assuming it fits.

I used to eat Miracle Whip on white bread as a kid.
P.S.: If you want to avoid cholesterol - Veganaise (yes, it's vegan mayo) is great!!!

Good old Kraft regular mayo... can eat it with a spoon...

Hellman's? Sometimes tolerable....

Miracle Whip... vile, vile, vile....

Especially the weird texture. And don't get me started on the yucky taste.

Vegenaise is okay.

Then it immediately takes a 180 and gets all gross and liquidy. WTF?

I used to eat beef (i.e. hamburgers and cheeseburgers) the only acceptable way (IMO) to have them was "with everything".

Meaning...ketchup, mustard, relish, pickles, onions, and mayo.

Not Miracle Whip, which basically is a jarful of sweet tasting pimple pus.

No more hamburgers, but I still use mayo for other things.


Oh, and for anyone wanting to gross out their mayo-hating friends...

get an empty mayo jar and fill it with vanilla pudding.

Eat big spoonfuls of it and make satisfied lip smacking sounds.

Virtually guaranteed to make at least one person puke.


PS...I didn't make it up...it was on a "How to be an annoying jackass" list I saw somewhere.

PPS...although now that I'm thinking of it, I like mayo but it would probably also make me gag to see someone eating what I thought was mayo out of the jar with a spoon.

Turkey, sourdough bread, lots of Best Foods/Hellmans. Yum.

Or a BLT on whole wheat toast w/lots of mayo. Yum.

How could a person have a BLT without mayo?

How can you have a sandwich without it??



PS Miracle Whip is weird... very sweet, as I recall

I have jugs of both at home so if I get a sub to go I get it dry and add when I get home.

Now I'm hungry.

and only as an ingredient, not by itself.

me...ugh. my whole childhood was ruined! people put it on everything!

NASty sh1t I can't stand to come into contact with my tongue!

(I think Mexico has the right idea, celebrating the sinking of the mayonnaise shipment--"Sinko de Mayo" )

Always figured Mayo's only purpose in life was to cover the crappy taste of whatever you are eating.
If your burger has mayo it must really taste like crap if it needs a taste killer spread on it.

This restaurant I went to puts mayo on the burgers and I thought I forgot to ask for no mayo til seeing the menu again they don't even tell you they do

I've got a very big palette, in fact there are only 3 or 4 things I won't eat, but mayo is the top of the top of hated foods.

The taste/texture, the smell of it ( it smells like sweat ) and the sight of it make me literally shudder and gag. There is no getting around it, and extolling the goodness of any brand over another does not move me one bit: "Would you like a shot of Drano? No I hate the stuff. Oh you must have tried Liquid Plummer, Drano is SO much better! Sigh....it's still drain cleaner and it's still awful".

No mayo in any amount or used in any way. It's cemented into my psyche that much deeper having grown up in a house that worships that crud, and now living in an area being surrounded in by people who put it on EVERYthing and assume it's normal.

No, you DON'T need mayo to enjoy a fresh tomato. Just grab a salt shaker and eat the fucking thing.

The best salad dressings DO NOT need mayo in them.

Whaddya mean, you can't eat a sandwich without mayo? What's wrong with plain or other condiments? And why must you spread that on so thick you'd swear you were spackling a wall?

And none of this "a little" bullshit. "Does it have mayonnaise in it?" I ask accusingly. "Uhhhh....umm...A little" sheepishly, coyly. "You dumbshit! You just put a teaspoon of Drano in that casserole and made it inedible!" A little. Sheesh.

That's the PG13 version. Words can't adequately descibe the full measure of my revulsion of the stuff.

Trying to keep it off my sandwiches has been a huge life challenge. Luckily I love all sorts of artesian mustards, so at least I can get the Deli workers to substitute without much grief

I also hate other white, gloppy substances, like sour cream and cottage cheese. Bleh. However LOVE yoghurt. Especially the plain Greek style, no sugar or flavor. That is the staff of life.

..you bunch of Godless hippie Communists!

nt.

the way my French aunt taught me. You just take some egg yellows and put them in a wooden mayonnaise bowl and begin grinding them in circles with a wooden pestle, adding a thin trickle of olive oil to make it rise into a fluffy paste. You can add lemon juice a little at a time, but being careful not to let the paste fall as it can quickly turn from fluffy to runny if you stop stirring or don't maintain the same stirring motion that made it rise. You can add smashed garlic to make another southern French delicacy that's great with boiled fish and vegetables, aioli.

It can drown out many other flavors. I'd say there can be a fine line between too much mayo and just enough.

Hellman's or Best Foods (identical). No other brand should be in your home.

I love the 'white death', as some have called it. I don't like dry bread or potato salad. Put mine on thick.

I almost once when I took a bite out of a Whopper and the mayonnaise was warm inside the burger.

My sister, angel that she is, sometimes puts some on a knife and leaves it on the counter just before dinner to terrify him.

CARROTS!!!

Probably because my mother never served them.

We had carrots all the time - cooked to death. My sister & I agree our mom was a terrible cook. The worst version was pot roast, which tasted like old shoelaces. Our mom would add potatoes & carrots so we'd have a "vegetable" & cook it for about 5 hours. Ugh. The horror.

Not a favorite plain by any means.

But actually enjoy some flavored ones now.

It is just eggs and veggie oil fer gawd sake.

Also recently learned to love sauerkraut via a hot reuben sandwich.

And loved to learn to acquaint myself with toast points and runny eggs.

Not all that long ago.

But I am always retrying things. I can always spit it out.
