mayo: the devil's condiment

I don't hate mayo, but I can't think of too many situations where I'd prefer it to mustard.

Nothing wrong with both -- and if you're making a roast beef sandwich, add horseradish for the trifecta.

Sour cream is what goes in chili and that's not too far off from mayo. It's weird because I've never seen anyone do it but I'd give it a shot.

now let's not kid ourselves that the chili in question was actually chili either, who knows what's going on

i was about to say--no need to choose between mustard and mayo in many condiment situations

You mean Pommes Frites sauce?

Its pretty good on french fries.

turkey sandwich, for example

I have never heard of mayo on chili until this thread.

If you get chilli in a pub in the uk you'll pretty much never see sour cream, but you'll get mayo. All the time.

I seriously want to know the mechanics of chili + mayo on the side as a condiment. Do you spoon up a wee dab of mayo and then go chili-diving?

Haha for a second I thought horseshoe was suggesting the "chili" was actually a turkey sandwich

WmC, yeah, pretty much. Get some chilli on your fork, get a touch of mayo, delicious.

wait you eat chili with a fork

sounds gross to me too

i do like mayo with fries

how about some mayo on your spaghetti mmmmmm

I'd also add that mayonnaise, which is essentially an oil emulsion using egg lecithin as the emulsifier, is one food in which the best vegan equivalent is almost indistinguishable. Pass right by the Spectrum Naturals and Nasoya - Follow Your Heart's Vegenaise is the best.

banana dipped in mayo

How the fuck else do you eat chilli? Trough it from a nosebag like a horse?

FYI the only reference I can find to putting mayo on chili is a Chowhound thread where someone says "I can't help putting mayonnaise on chili in spite of myself"; everything else is a recipe or reference to mayo with chili powder in it

i eat my chili with a spoon? although a feedbag doesn't sounds bad.

i can't imagine that mayo is better than sour cream with chili but i guess i'd try it?

Mayo is like a more indulgent alternative to sour cream wit chilli.

do you squeeze the mayo on through a bag

That stuff intrigues me. I always look at it in the supermarket.

<3 kewpie

are all the blood vessels in girl's eyelids ruptured from the sludge coursing through them, or? xp

yes

This chili/chilli spelling variation and the fork thing makes me wonder if Sick M. is just eating a pile of roasted chili peppers. American chili is a stew, served in a bowl, eaten with a spoon, so mote it be, forever and ever, amen.

Mayo is from hell.

I respect others' desire to eat it, but please keep it away from me and my mouth.

i feel like this mayo hatred comes from it being dumped on everything in shit delis or whatever.

Mayo is great, it's the only thing that's correct for putting on a BLT with the possible exception of horseradish sauce. Mustard does not belong on a BLT. And it knows that.

I have managed to eat mayo on the handful of occasions when to reject the mayo-laden food would have been worse for me than eating the mayo. I'm not a savage.

I'm disgusted by mayo partly out of habit, partly because of its texture en masse, and also because I don't much care for "creamy" things -- soups, salad dressing, etc. Don't even like cream cheese.

cream cheese is pretty gross too

dairy beelzebub to eggy lucifer

sour cream - no thanks

mayo is from hell when i can taste it and i literally can't have it on my tongue without gagging. touching it isn't a good experience either (and having worked in a deli i've gotten a lot of it on my hands)

as an ingredient though it's great. i've been making a perfect spicy pasta salad with a mayo base, and i make egg salad all the time, and deviled eggs of course.

I think mayo is great, but the one terrible mayo memory (mayomory?) I have is one time when a friend of one of my flatmates walked in with two large naan breads and a small har of Hellmann's. He heated the naans in the microwave, and then proceeded to eat them by dipping them straight into the jar. The jar was empty once he'd finished. It was the most disgusting thing I ever saw that didn't involve involuntary release of bodily fluids/waste products.

Oh I would just like to add that Japanese mayo is the best mayo, all other mayos get behind

Spicy mayo on maki = yum

But what about the tangy zip of Miracle Whip?!

I love Miracle Whip

what even is miracle whip. plastic?

Miracle Whip is mayo with a bunch of random spices in it

i think thats cool whip thats plastic

If they made Marmite mayonnaise, that would be very useful.

japanese mayo on okonomiyaki, mmmm

Miracle Whip is terrible but I'll allow it for DJP why because Minnesota.

I thought that Miracle Whip was to Mayo as Margarine is to Butter. I really have no idea whats in it, but I like it way more thatn "real" mayo.
