mayo: the devil's condiment

I mean, I went through a phase as a child where I ate peanut butter and mustard sandwiches because my brother served me one in retaliation for pestering him into making me a sandwich and I enjoyed it out of spite but I'm not actually seeking that flavor profile out as a rational adult

i just pour the jelly right into my mouth

^^^ acceptable

Olive oil's pretty shit on sandwiches though.

what is wrong with you

Yeah, classic muffaletta.

Question for anti-mayo partisans: what do you think "special sauce" is?

I'm so glad people covered this while I was away from this thread.

do we put butter and jam onto our toast, or just one or the other? a friend wonders -- he expresses sympathy for the idea of butter on a pb&j on these grounds. we have ejected him from the van and wish him well on his journey home

I'd never advocate butter on every sandwich. And anyone eating a chilled sandwich of any is a disgusting savage.

i would normally look askance at a buttered sandwich of any ordinary variety but i must admit that on the basis of discussions in these precincts i experimented with butter-and-peanut-butter on bread rather than just peanut butter, in the past year during periods of significant poverty when it seemed like it might be a good way to bolster an inadequate meal.

our british friends are still semi-incomprehensible when they eat toast sandwiches, but butter does sometimes seem like an effective ingredient in bread-based food.

on that note, it appears that all these years kraft has been gouging us for what was once a cost-cutting innovation

What makes it different: While it contains mayo's key ingredients (egg, soybean oil, vinegar, water), Miracle Whip sets itself apart with a sweet, spicy flavor that some folks prefer. First introduced during the Depression, when its cheaper price made it alluring to people who couldn't afford more highfalutin mayo, it's now caught up, costing about the same amount per ounce as the real thing. At any price, Miracle Whip still has legions of devotees: According to Kraft, it's currently among the grocery industry's 20 top-selling brands.

Yeah I have to go to Britain in a few weeks (shudder) and I'm looking to having like butter and fries sandwiches, hold the devil please

maybe they can curry that up for you

i'm guilty of eating cold foods, some of which may have included chilled sandwiches, pizzas, burgers, and soups. i blame it on university.

olive oil on bread is really good, as well. it depends on the olive oil, though.

xxxxp

who didn't eat a chip butty as a child

In the USA there are deviled eggs, a revealing name

here they are just œufs mayonnaise & I had with a group last week where like 50% of the people ordered this savagery. those people should be sent to The Hague

When I brought my mom some proper Spanish pimenton, her devilled egg game raised itself to become the envy of the other Minnesotans.

I toast a lot of the bread for my sandwiches, but that's because a) I keep this bread in the fridge so it doesn't spoil or get found by passing mice and b) I mostly eat these sandwiches:

BLT
warm chorizo, tomato and rocket (protip: scrape a clove of garlic across the toasted inside surface of your slices)
chicken and pesto with lettuce and mayo

I do not toast the bread for these sandwiches:

Ham and mustard
Parma ham/mozzarella, basil, tomato, red onion (here the bread is focaccia/ciabatta or a Portuguese roll, warmed up a bit)
Cheese and pickle (Americans: pickle is not PICKLES).

BRB just going for a chorizo/tomato/rocket on seeded sourdough toast.

(Americans: pickle is not PICKLES)

this is a koan

It is what it is

and parma ham is not parmesan cheese ham

AMERICANS

Olive oil with bread IS great especially with balsamic vinegar. But on a sandwich instead of butter? No.

Bread goes off quicker in the fridge. Science confirms this. You need A BREAD BIN. Made of melamine.

can we go back to "mousies"
how do they differ from sprinkles

incidentally, i don't care for cow's milk butter (or any other mammal, wiseass) and actively avoid most foods cooked or baked with excessive butter (exceptions for croissants). We're a coconut/olive oil house.

yeah well you have your lifestyle and whatever

it's not a health thing or a conscious choice, i just don't much care for the taste or texture of butter and it doesn't agree with me in excess.

i just don't much care for the taste or texture of butter

I have grave doubts that you are actually American

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_sandwich

the idea of an italian cold cut sub with butter instead of olive oil is seriously disturbing

http://thefederalist.com/2015/10/09/homemade-mayonnaise-is-the-very-essence-of-conservatism/

so vegan mayo just replaces egg yokes with soy milk or the like?

wouldn't it be easier to just spread spoiled milk on your sandwich?

no because that wouldn't be vegan

that was a bad post i made

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT, DALE

Oh man, I never posted on here about the place in DC that serves gyros with mayonnaise instead of tzatziki? THAT was an unpleasant surprise.

Just hit up a food truck and had this happen to me again. The list of ingredients included "sauce" so I asked the guy if it was a yogurt sauce. He just told me "it's tzatziki". Got it back to my office and it's got mayo in it for sure, although not as repellent a mixture as last time, so at least I was able eat the whole thing.

every time this thread is revived, I crack up

it's just the best
