Mayonnaise appreciation thread

[asthmaticeog]

You KNOW you love it.

Try dunking your french fries in it. It rocks.

[WCGreen]

1. From the looks of your photo....

Miracle Whip might be more approporiate...

[asthmaticeog]

2. Miracle Whip is NOT mayonnaise.

:grr:

[Medium Baby Jesus]

3. Fuck I hate that shit!

Everyone in my family eats it. Assholes.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

5. My, are we a tad cranky tonight?

Good. Come sit by me.

I used to like mayo until my daughter at 3 got into the fridge and ate and entire jar and threw up all over the house.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

12. Always on Sunday nights

before work on Monday. And don't get me started on margarine.
:grr:

[WCGreen]

6. Miracle Whip makes get ham salad...

But mayo on a BLT....

[GirlinContempt]

7. Miracle Whip is also a handy-dandy

motor oil, WD40 replacement, & makes GREAT asphalt

[WCGreen]

9. It also serves as good spaklin' compound in a pinch....

[Medium Baby Jesus]

13. How come I saw "spankin" ?

[WCGreen]

19. 'cause you was blinded by the light of the baby jesus...

[Bzzzz]

18. Miracle Whip...

hands DOWN!!!

[GirlinContempt]

4. I think I might hurl

[midnight armadillo]

28. You and me both

Mayonnaise is a vile substance.

[Floogeldy]

8. Hellmans!

Greatest Mayo I've ever had.

:)

[trof]

16. Only kind Miz. t will have in the house. It's the "REAL" mayo.

Says so right on the label.
;-)

[ashling]

30. Not available west of the Rockies

We were so bummed out when we moved to WA a few years ago because we could not find Hellman's anywhere. So we settled for the best one we could find (I think it was Best Foods?) anyway, whatever it was tasted just the same, only we knew that it wasn't that good ole Hellman's, and we weren't really satisfied with it. Then one day I happened to notice the small print on the label:
Hellman's east of the Rockies.

and we lived happily ever after ... well, at least we were satisfied with our new mayonaise

[peekaloo]

46. My favorite, also. Duke's is pretty good. nt

[ThatsMyBarack]

10. When I was a kid....

....lettuce and mayo sandwiches were my favorite snack! :9

[trof]

11. FRIES & MAYO! The French taught me that.

Love it.

[Err]

14. Mmmm...I love mayo!

My family likes using mayo substitute (miracle whip) in stuff instead of mayo. :wtf:

[Kellanved]

15. Fritessaus is not mayonnaise

And for a real great fries topping, try speciaal:
spicy ketchup, fresh chopped onions and fritessaus (mayonnaise will do).

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Kraft has this sorta-new mayo jar

Makes it lots easier to dig out the last bits. :bounce:

[hippywife]

20. I'm bispreadable.

I like mayo for some things and Miracle Whip for others. Can't help it, it's the way I am.

[afdip]

21. you're all wrong . . .make it yourself, takes 10 minutes, egg yolk,

extra virgin olive oil/canola mix, lemon juice, a cuisenart & anything you choose to flavor it with, garlic, chipotle, etc. nothing compares with homemade.

[GirlinContempt]

22. ewww

rape seed oil

[afdip]

47. i'd have given more options on oil, but someone would try it

with 10w-40 motor oil and it would have tasted like shit. rape seed oil works well.

[BuddhaGirl]

23. Vegenaise!!!!

My favorite - tastes like mayo but without any eggs, dairy products, over-refined sweeteners, fillers, gums, colorings, preservatives

:9 :9 :9

[flvegan]

42. Another vote here! If not for Grapeseed Vegenaise

I'd be unable to exist.

[Abelman]

24. A comparison of ingredient labels:

Miracle Whip:
WATER, SOYBEAN OIL, VINEGAR, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, SUGAR, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, EGG YOLKS, SALT, MUSTARD FLOUR, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, POTASSIUM SORBATE AS A PRESERVATIVE, SPICE, PAPRIKA, NATURAL FLAVOR, DRIED GARLIC


Hellman's/Best Foods Mayonaise
SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, WHOLE EGGS AND EGG YOLKS, VINEGAR, SALT, SUGAR, LEMON JUICE, NATURAL FLAVORS, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA

Hmm... this tells me little.

I don't even like mayonaise. Why did I go to all this effort?

[ghostsofgiants]

25. "55 Stories" is a great downtempo mix by him

[AussieDave]

26. I love mayo - and I also love Miracle Whip

horses for courses.......

[In_The_Wind]

27. Hellman's Mayonnaise is the only one I use.

[Floogeldy]

29. Why does Hellman's taste so good?

Is it garlic? Is it horseradish?

It sure is something! :)

[In_The_Wind]

31. Well - for starters - it isn't sweet. I'll have to read the ingredients .

I love both garlic and horseradish so if they're in there - that explains it.

[kittenwithmittens]

32. I love mayo, especially Hellman's, but

I've gotten sick many times from mayo that has been left out, so I only eat it from my own fridge. That stuff is like a petrie dish. The squeeze bottles make me feel more confident.

[Floogeldy]

34. Hey you.

Welcome to DU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to have you.

:party: :party: :toast: :toast: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hi: :hi: :hi: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[kittenwithmittens]

36. Thanks!

Glad to be here!

[LT TX]

69. A woman I work with

leaves mayonnaise out all the time. She just leaves it on her desk. Someone asked her why she doesn't put it up and she said that it doesn't have to be refrigerated. She said it won't go bad unless it gets really hot. She is a very strange bird. Needless to say, I don't eat the mayo!

[Awsi Dooger]

33. On Whoppers only

I heard you could cut the caloric level of a Whopper by 50% minus the mayo but damn it makes a difference, so dry and less tasty. I don't like the looks of it out of a jar and have never used it otherwise.

[kittenwithmittens]

37. I always hold the mayo on whoppers

and the cheese too, and have them add BBQ sauce. That cuts the fat WAY down to something approaching almost healthy.

[Beware the Beast Man]

35. Only if it's chipotle mayo.

Regular mayonnaise is tolerable only in thin layers.

[tigereye]

39. yum

I like that too.

I'm from a Miracle Whip family, though, but my h is a Mayo guy. Mayo is better, definitely.

Hey Beast! How are you guys? Hope you have a nice holiday. :hi:

[Beware the Beast Man]

59. We're doing great. Thanks!

:hi:

[asthmaticeog]

61. That sounds gooooood...

I need to start making my own so I can goof around with different flavors. Plus I hear hand-made mayonnaise totally kicks the ass of store-bought stuff.

:hi:

[Rowdyboy]

38. I think this subject deserves a poll....n/t

[ariesgem]

40. The sight and smell of it makes me

:puke:

Give me Miracle Whip any day.

[bleedingheart]

41. mix some garlic salt with the mayo before dunking the fries...

it is to die for...

[kwassa]

43. Why desecrate William Blake with Evil Mayo?

The only Mayo I like is the clinic.

I think perhaps it should be outlawed.

[DainBramaged]

44. One image comes to mind

[asthmaticeog]

45. *AHEM* THIS IS A MAYONNAISE APPRECIATION THREAD.

ALL YOU MAYO-HATERS GET YOUR OWN GODDAMN THREAD, AND STOP BEFOULING MINE. THANK YOU.

:silly:

[kwassa]

50. I appreciate that there is no mayo on my sandwich today!

Only Grey Poupon, a vital part of anyone's diet.

[GirlinContempt]

65. Suck it up, princess

[asthmaticeog]

66. Lighten up, Francis.

[GirlinContempt]

67. What you talkin' bout, Willis?

[asthmaticeog]

68. Kiss my grits!

[MissMillie]

48. I love mayo

not on everything, but on most meat sandwiches, for sure. And it really makes a burger.

[progmom]

49. i have a love-hate relationship with mayo

:hi:

[Zuni]

52. as do I

I love it on some things, like a BLT but cannot even watch someone put it on fries

[progmom]

54. see my response to your post below

i haven't had it on fries in years, but used to do it all the time when i lived in holland.

[Zuni]

51. I had a friend that practiced the revolting fries in the mayo thing

it used to make me sick

Mayo belongs on sandwiches and burgers and in tuna salad and other related dishes. Nothing else.

[progmom]

53. in holland, you order "frites met" which means "fries with..."

...and you get fries drowning in mayo.

[Zuni]

55. and I used to think the Dutch were cool

well organized resistance in WWII, legalized Marijuana, red light districts that put the rest of the world to shame and now this completely undermines my love of the nederlander

:(

[Beware the Beast Man]

60. ...

:puke:

[dolo amber]

56. I wish STANLEY appreciated mayo

:cry:

[William Bloode]

57. I do love it on my fries!

But it is soooooo unhealthy i only rarely eat it, or non baked french fries for that matter. I never eat it on samich's, but i do use it for salads. No Miracle Whip please! You can leave that candy sweet shit for the dogs! Brand wise i go back and forth between Hellmans, and Dukes. Neither are sweet, Hellman's has that great garlicky horseradishy taste, and Dukes has a nice sour wang.

[libnnc]

58. In the south, it's all about Dukes

There IS NO OTHER!

[kwassa]

62. The very best Mayo

Virginia Mayo, of course

[newyawker99]

63. I love mayonnaise!

:9

[Patiod]

64. Only like it with curry

Mayo + lots of curry - excellent dip for shrimp or fried calimari
