I like mayonnaise

[Insider]

hopefully i can proclaim my preference without some motivated poster throwing in a disgusting reference, or a cholesterol rant. sure would be nice.

anyhoo, it makes potato salad so good, tuna salad, even kipper snacks & sardines. what would an italian sub be without it? then there's a plain old lettuce & tomato & onion thing with mayo & vinegar. hellmann's, kraft...it's all delicious.


www.mayo.com takes you to hellmann's

www.mayonnaise.com takes you to kraft

1. Hmmmm *contemplate's flaming insider for loving mayonnaise*

Only a NEO-CON would love mayonnaise!
:D

32. we thank you for your kindness

during this brief digression. :D

"...as american as catsup"

2. Only Hellman's or homemade.

And to the healthy eating crowd: anything is OK in moderation.

I think Hellman's is called something else depending on where you live in the USA...

4. Best Foods

5. I knew it was something like that...thanks. (nt)

3. Apropos of nothing. But is there any difference between mayonaise and..

salad dressing?

I've never been able to tell the difference.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Heathen! Phillistine!

:P

I can tell by the texture which is which. Miracle Whip is a lot smoother than real mayo.

[kmla]

16. Yep.. 'tis true.

Miracle Whip is sweeter as well.

But you don't wanna leave either of them out of the 'fridge for very long...

[Richardo]

23. I grew up on Miracle Whip 'cause it was cheaper and my Dad liked it...

...when I discovered mayonnaise, I couldn't beLIEVE the difference. Now I can't even stand to be in the same room with a jar of MW. x(

[grannylib]

7. I can't tell the diff when using it in potato/egg/chicken salad or in

sandwiches, so I buy the store brand of whatever, salad dressing, not real mayo.

8. don't forget fries

:P
mhmm fritessaus ...



Just don't use it on Pizza :puke:

[trof]

29. YESSS!!!

I love mayo on fries.

[wryter2000]

9. What's the big deal with cholesterol and mayo?

People talk about how much cholesterol is in mayo. Most of it is vegetable oil (no cholesterol). There are probably three egg yolks in a pint of the stuff. You'd have to eat a whole pint of mayo to get any significant cholesterol.

Mayo's high-calorie, for sure, but not bad on cholesterol.

(Best food in the world is home grown tomatoes and mayo.)

11. So does Daddy the Cat.

See photo here. http://home.earthlink.net/~notheidi63/id2.html

One day I'll post a photo of him eating mayo.

12. Nectar of the Gods

OK, maybe a little overboard. But dang, I like it. :)

I remember my first trip to the Netherlands when someone asked me if I wanted "friitsaus" (not sure on the spelling) to go with my french fries. I said yes. To my delight, it was basically mayo!

Now, french fries without friitsaus is like... nothing. It just doesn't taste like... freedom. :silly:

[Kellanved]

14. Fries are best in the Netherlands

The stuff that one gets elsewhere is simply not in the same league (although the "Holland" fast food locations run by Dutch are pretty close) . Hmm fresh (not from frozen potatoes, but fresh potatoes peeled and sliced in the fast food place) Fritten speciaal...

[skippysmom]

13. love hellman's

with my turkey and swiss on a bulky roll...

but fat free mayo is just NASTY.

[Mr. McD]

15. I often enjoy a Best Foods sandwich

Just bread and mayo

[enough]

17. fry sauce

My daughter's boyfriend from Idaho introduced us to "fry sauce" which goes on anything you would use ketchup on. Half ketchup, half mayo. Yum. Real American haute cuisine.

Mayo (Hellman's) makes life worth living if you're on a low-carb diet.

30. Belgium had it

stationed in germany, they ate mayo on french fries. i didn't try it for more than a year. but it was tasty.

visited belgium, they had many different sauces. the mayo/ketchup combo was the best.

[WillParkinson]

18. I like Vegenaise myself...

[VelmaD]

19. Sadly, I gave up mayo...

almost 2 years ago now. I was amazec to find out how many calories there were in a teaspoon of mayo. Had to mak ethe switch to mustard for sammiches and it wasn't easy at first let me tell you.

I miss mayo sometimes. x(

[Afraid of My Shadow]

20. tomato sandwich

Theres nothing better than a fat, dripping tomato sandwich with mayonnaise and a thin slice of vidalia onion. The tomato can never be refrigerated though. Fridgidated tomatoes s**k.

[JitterbugPerfume]

21. HEY

whats wrong with fat free mayo???

[Afraid of My Shadow]

22. you're asking me?

Okay, I'll answer.

What's the point? It's like getting decaf espresso.

Also, it's disgusting.

[pyro1392]

28. It's an oxymoron.

[Mrs. Overall]

27. An even better sandwich--Mayo and Peanut Butter!

It sounds disgusting, but really it's good. Best Foods Mayo and some crunchy peanut butter. Horribly fattening, but occasionally--yum!

[ewagner]

31. Yooohooo!

That's also a favorite.

Vidalia onions are great!

[populistmom]

24. There's a controversy over whether it really does hurt your cholesterol

I've been doing Atkins for almost a year and have eaten more mayo than I ever had before (although I do try to stick with monounsaturated fats like olive oil more) and my cholesterol went from 275 to 185.

Some recents studies point to a high sugar diet as the culprit. I don't know yet. Perhaps it's an idividual thing also.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

25. Yup-Atkins lowered my cholesterol too

and my husband's (which was over 300!). I really think sugar is the culprit, and white flour.

[Mr. McD]

26. Same here

Before starting Atkins my triglycerides were so high they couldn't read my cholesterol. All is normal now.

[Nikia]

33. I do too. I want it on sandwiches at work

There is a vending machine at work where I usually get lunch. they have free packets of ketchup and mustard. I really want mayonaise though, especially on cold meat sandwiches. I know that I could always bring my own, but I don't understand why they cannot have that popular condiment too.
