What would be the proper phrasing for this question?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

E.g.: Was liebst du mehr, Mayonnaise oder mich?

What do You like better, Mayonnaise or me?

The point is, it's highly improper to not love a person in favor of a thing. Instead You can lighten it up a bit by just asking for what they like better.

The initial question is only askable among very close friends (Irony/Saracasm), usually not even for couples and definitely not for love interests or lose contacts.

It’s grammatically correct but every sane German will obviously pick mayo.
