mayo: the devil's condiment

http://www.recordsale.de/cdpix/j/jimi_hendrix-voodoo_chile_(france).jpg

it's almost as if different countries spell different words differently

that spoon is levitating over the hot mayo and oranges because it is so repulsed

x-post - surely that's fruit in cool whip and not mayo though

If that picture was taken in MN, that could very well be mayo

that ad suggests that some savage ass motherfuckers are gettin ready to dip some innocent mandarin slices in a mayonnaise bowl

somebody stop these assholes

omigod there IS smoke.

brb gonna barf

Now I love it, but mayonnaise used to make me hurl actual post-chemo vomit when I was little; it was the axle-grease for all my mom's pasta/potato salads. Every week or two I get through a small jar because I make chilli mayonnaise (cherry bomb chilli, a few garlic cloves, sea salt, paprika, olive oil and brined peppercorns blitzed then added to about half a jar) which is great for breaded chicken, fish and scampi (Britisher scampi is breaded langoustines). I love plain mayo on most sandwiches/with pommes frites, and I make a really nice egg mayonnaise sandwich.

Mayo does not go in or with chilli (which is spelled with two Ls in UK English). Nor does it go in peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches, but that never stopped my dad.

FYI Miracle Whip is gross and my Minnesotan mother banned it from our kitchen, along with Cool Whip and Master Bread. So THERE, Phil D.

look anything you make with cool whip is 100x better if you buy some nice farm heavy cream and just whip it http://www.swag-inc.com/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/9/thumbnail/50x/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/d/e/devo_hat_1.png

btw I do believe we've made small progress as a species when you consider the truly horrifying things we ate as snack/party foods in the seventies

xp colour and honour are abstract concepts, do what you want; chili is ~our~ food (and by "our" i mean...mesoamerican??)

The first documented recipe for "chile con carne" is dated September 2, 1519. The ingredients were boiled tomatoes, salt, chiles and meat. Bernal Diaz del Castillo, one of Hernan Cortez's Captains and the source of the recipe, states in his book, that the Cholulan Indians, allied with the Aztecs, were so confident of victory in a battle against the Conquistadors the following day that they had "already prepared cauldrons of tomatoes, salt and chiles" in anticipation of a victory feast. The one missing ingredient, the meat, was to be furnished by the Conquistadors themselves: their own flesh.

this can't possibly be true, but i want it to be very badly for some reason.

anyway we're all wrong about the spelling, but i think aztecs and cholulans and cortes would all agree that mayo fucking blows and should stay the fuck away from my bean and dead spaniard stew

You're kidding me. People put mayo on fruit?! Now that's just disgusting.

FYI Miracle Whip is gross and my Minnesotan mother banned it from our kitchen, along with Cool Whip and Master Bread. So THERE, Phil D.

Your mom very, very OTM.

man my joke was ruined by a lack of y on they

i guess anyone who was going to larf got it and the rest of you can swim upstream in the mayo rapids

I should poll these photos:

About 501,000 results for "guacamole mayonnaise recipe".

Apply whole egg mayonnaise on your face (right from the jar) for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

Okay, I'll stop.

you know there is a vegan mayo substitute called AMAZINNAISE. this maybe belongs in semantics c/d though.

I think one of the things that makes people adding mayonnaise to things so distressing is how shiny it is. like it glistens. other stuff is shiny, too, but it's usually a pristine, status shine, like mozzarella. it's not cheap weird coruscating congealy spiciness in a jar, like mayo.

Shininess in a jar, sorry. I'm not referring to chilli'd mayo.

ok there are some problems on your island

vegenaise actually surprisingly good xp

alfred, your first ad – the 'makes ends meet in spite of it all' is untentional bathos for the ages

what in god's name, j.

In these islands, "chilli con carney" (which always makes me think of those ineffably cool, invariably grizzled men who operated the Waltzers of my youth) is traditionally served bursting out of microwaved baked potatoes, or in a neat pile atop a ring of basmati rice, like so much minced meat curry. Kidney beans and copious amounts of cayenne obligatory.

I'll just say it: there is nothing wrong with putting a little Marmite in chilli

Would never think of having mayo with it though, sorry SM

Odd to me, the maelstrom of passions stirred by mayonaise. I would have to poke the Search engine a while to be sure, but I believe ilx has already generated this exact same tempest once before. And don't even get us started on salting food before you've tasted it!

it is overblown! caused by provocateurs who do not represent the people

speaking of a maelstrom:

AGITATORS

this thread & the actual mayo thread are not enough mayo discussions. need to invade other threads with important mayonnaise arguments
