I hate it.
After hearing about Kewpie mayo for years I finally got some when I visited Japan and… it’s alright. Not bad, not life changing, just alright. Maybe I’ve just always had good mayo so my standard has been too high.
Remoulade on the other hand, that’s where it’s at. Could drink that shit up with a straw
PREACH
Would you like some slime on your sandwich
No I wouldn’t thanks tho
We should start a cult for people who don’t like mayyonise
Wait so you don’t like any condiment on your sandwich? They’re all slime.
Mayo just adds a particular texture. High protein and a little bit greasy which is great for certain foods.
Incorrect. The ones that are paste, I like fine. Jam or mustard or hot sauce, fine. Those are all human consumable texture and flavor combinations. The “let’s put on this food some egg+vaseline mixture that someone left in the sun” experience of mayonnaise is one I can skip though.
I also strongly dislike the texture of bananas going all mushy while I’m “chewing” them, to the point that I don’t eat them, so maybe it’s just a me issue. That is my feeling though.
I don’t know whether to upvote you for the “let’s put on this food some egg+vaseline mixture that someone left in the sun” experience of mayonnaise” or downvote you for the slight against bananas
Properly made mayonnaise, with decent mustard? Fuck yeah.
My issue is just when meh mayo goes on everything. Butter usually tastes better.
Not only does Mayo make things like sandwiches better but you can combine it with various other flavors for deliciousness. E.g. garlic or spicy aioli.
Sriracha mayo is awesome with burgers, fries, tater tots, etc
Easy to make yourself.
Japanese mayo is great. Not as sour as regular mayonnaise.
Sour…? Are you getting actual mayonnaise or Miracle Whip? Cuz regular mayo ain’t sour at all. It’s just egg and oil.
Lemon juice or vinegar is a key ingredient of mayo. Its supposed to have a bit of a tang to it. I feel like the fattiness kinda hides the acidity somewhat though
Mayonnaise has lemon juice or similar acid.
It’s one of those things that I find good to eat a little bit if it’s with other food, but too much makes it nasty. Same way with pickles, relish, sauerkraut. Great topping to add flavor, terrible as the main flavor of a dish/meal
vinegar is the culprit. its gut rot for me.
I love mayo. Maybe you should try hummus.
There’s bad mayonnaise out there, like a lot of bad. I prefer to put it on my fries. It’s very delicious.
Arctic Circle in Utah gave out fry sauce (aka fancy sauce). It’s just mayo and ketchup, but it was so popular all of the local chains started providing it as well (McDonald’s, Wendy’s, 5 guys). The better ones generally splash a bit of BBQ as well.
Where I used to live a favorite was fries with mayonnaise and cheese powder.
It’s aioli that someone figured out how to sell before they finished making it
Thought I hated it all until fairly recently. Homemade mayo can be OK. Japanese Kewpi mayo is pretty good. Still, I rarely put it on anything by choice.
It’s a great base for a sauce as well, mix it with some green pesto, put that on a burger (both on the top and bottom bun) and thank me later!
Ooh, sounds intriguing. I’ll try to remember to do this next time.
Try it on a wrap with some avocado, pasta, tofu, roasted pine nuts and vegetables to taste!
I generally don’t like it. If I get a sandwich made or something I’ll ask for no mayo. Most restaurant/chain mayo sucks. Heavy on the oil and other things that mess up a flavor I’m not keen on in the first place. There are some things that need it, like egg salad, and that’s fine. I don’t mind adulterated versions like chipotle mayo or sriracha mayo. However, if it’s a good mayo, it can really make a sandwich, especially if there are complementary ingredients like avocado.
On some level I like it but I mostly hate it.
A microscopically thin layer on a few select sandwiches is appropriate and delicious to me.
Anything more than a teaspoon and it becomes overwhelming and cloying.
I really think for the most part, mayonnaise has become a crutch for bad cooks. You really do not need to just add essentially pure fat to make food taste good, that’s not necessary unless you are lazy and cheap.
I find eating excess amounts of fat and oil to be disgusting and nauseating.
