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.

These 2 opinions are all we need in this thread tbh

Easy to make yourself.

I like it on sandwiches, but need only a LITTLE bit. It's very easy to have too much and then have a slimy sandwich

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.

I love mayo. Maybe you should try hummus.

The plant based kind is actually very good.

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.

Well I mean... it is my people's beverage of choice

There are several sandwich shops I just don't go to because they only use mayo and mayo is disgusting. But I do like other mayo based things like potato salad and deviled eggs.

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ooh, sounds intriguing. I'll try to remember to do this next time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Try it on a wrap with some avocado, pasta, tofu, roasted pine nuts and vegetables to taste!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I think it's not an instrument.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Glad to see. I'm not the only one.

You take nasty ass uncooked eggs, Mix them up with some oil and a splash of vinegar, lemon juice and mustard. How does that not sound appetizing?

  • Some dick head in 18 Dickety 4 or whenever they invented that shit probably

Get the fuck out of my life Mayo, and fuck your cousin aioli trying to sneak into my sandwiches as well.

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.

It ruins my Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's whenever I forget to specify "no mayo".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I stopped getting it because even when I remembered to say “no mayo”, they’d still pile it on

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Freshly made mayo is nice. I haven't tried the other products people are mentioning here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Very specifically only on a burger that has crummed white meat like chicken schnitzel. Otherwise it ruins everything it touches.

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
