mayo: the devil's condiment

aww j. don't make fun of felicity cloake

unless i skimmed over the bit where she goes 'and then add mayonnaise', then go ahead

hey it's your island, you do what you want, i'm just sayin, don't disseminate lies and confusion in the world at large

fwiw i have never been served chili, in a pub, with mayo

although if you're eating chili in a pub you've done something wrong already

i did once get served a portion of 'nachos' which consisted of:

a packet of blue flavour doritos,
microwaved with grated, strong cheddar,
with, on the side, that gloopy and unavoidable 'thai' sweet chilli sauce,
and, yes, mayonnaise

i'm still not sure whether i was being trolled

honestly the best part of those nachos is "blue flavour doritos"

hope you took a picture

speaking of pictures:

honestly if that savory pie filling is any good, that dish is probably delicious

all it needs is hot mayo

let's not go crazy

This flickr stream is incredible but it's also turned my stomach in ways I didn't expect.

Ugh, curses on Jamie Oliver for using green bell peppers in that recipe. Back when my wife and I did any entertaining at all, one of our go-to spreads was the 3-chili party: red with beef, "white" with chicken and green chilies (roasted Anaheim), and vegetarian with black beans. Plus cornbread and the usual go-withs. No mayo.

Which is hated worst: mayo or ketchup? (<-- I may have misquoted the exact thread title there, but you get the idea.)

I will make the 'white' chicken chilli, that sounds amazing - plus I have a bunch of green poblanos just sitting here, WAITING to go in something like that (my market farmer grows/sells them so I take LOADS home; my next trick will be getting him to grow/stock padrones).

Mayo mixed with chilli sauce (especially the sweet Thai stuff) is an awesome thing.

holy shit Alfred

unholy shit more like

What these recipes have in common: hardboiled eggs used in the unlikeliest of combinations, goopy sauces, green peppers for color, and a reluctance to, like, leave tasty things alone.

Had this for dinner, with chickpea rice. No mayo.

Suzy, I forgot to mention, though it's probably obvious -- great northerns or some other white bean in that "white" chili.

Don't you realize that chilli is a portmanteau of "chilled chili" and is a delicious frosty staple of British pub food

delicious frosted staples in British pub food

Mayo in chilli sounds pretty gross to me but UK has the US beat at mustard, relish and brown sauce so I trust them when it comes to these innovations

Off topic challop but there is no finer steak sauce than HP so you Americans should ease up on the old rivalries and take a moment to reflect

no

it's more of a bacon sandwich sauce

bacon sandwiches, sausages, BLTs, steaks

uk definitely has some game when it comes to slathering

Either way it is the finest steak sauce, second only to bechamel. "Hickory flavoured ketchup with prominently displayed cow horns on the label" is a distant third and "A-1" a.k.a. imitation HP is a fourth

I'm allergic to eggs; mayonnaise is a constant source of deep discontent whenever I dine out; in short, satanic.

A1!

i hate mayo

lol owen you have a lot to learn about sauces

sweetling you could teach me a lot about food but I think I'm better educated as to what sauces taste better on guiltily consumed pieces of meat

this is my favorite sentence of the day that doesn't involve Mark Sanchez bouncing a football off of Tim Tebow's head

furthermore aero if you're questioning the supremacy of the UK in the fields of mustard or relish you should think again, Keen's and Branston Pickle are top of the chain my friend

Although I would liken it to A-1 (in flavor not consistency as it's a lot thicker) I don't really think of HP as steak sauce at all. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use it on beef. Sausages and bacon sarnies sure but not actually on steak.

yeah hp is for breakfast mainly.fuck wasting a steak with it.

If a steak is well marinated it don't need no sauce.

imagine this: eskimo ice cream made with mayo

mayo rules, lock this thread

what

what the hell is that THING

my god

max otm

I make homemade Caesar dressing with mayo replacing the eggs and it is amazing, but its really the only thing I've ever used mayo for at home.

(that' not actually mayo in the picture I don't think: probably something tastier, like caribou oil)

according to wikipedia, the most common substitution of the animal fat is crisco ;_;

horrifying

come back mayo, almost all is forgiven
