mayo: the devil's condiment

I ordered the tomato pie at a place that was supposed to be a shining example of new gussied up southern cuisine, except it was really short on tomatoes and wound up being a serving of mayonnaise pie. First (and only) time mayo had ever really grossed me out.

have i shared this recipe here before? i have used it many, many times.

what is nutella but hazlenut mayonnaise?

thank you for the impending nightmares

seriously that is a bullshit thing to say. you take that back, nutella does not deserve that kind of treatment

indeed, mayo is a classy french food, while nutella is half a dunkaroos.

I may eat nutella on my fries this weekend

I am not proud that I have to do this but we have been friends a long time and you know as well as I do that I have to do this:

nut...on my fries

that's next weekend

I'm allergic to hazelnuts so Nutella is basically poison to me, whereas mayo is good on fries, sorry folks.

I still remember the first time I saw my dad dip his Wendy's fries into a Wendy's frosty

and that is why I committed these crimes, Judge.

place near me offered soft serve as a fry dip and it was great tbh

I haven't done that since I was 9 or so, but I'm pretty sure it was the best.

fries into shake is classic

Bacon works so well with bacon, hence the BLT. The saltiness with the creaminess. Miss it so much - just about 6 months without meat now.

Bacon works so well with bacon

I can be down with this

I would blame that on the phone, but it's clearly just idiocy. Bacon with mayo. You see what the lack of meat has done to me?

a kind of godwin's law for ilx, where the inevitable baconization of threads is encoded as a rule

I'm so happy you mayo-haters all have one another to talk to and cheer on. We who find mayo entirely acceptable need no cheering sections to convince us we are right.

lol of course aimless likes mayo

aimless is the mayonnaise of ilx

daaaaaaamn

mayonnaise is just one tiny part of a universe of edible and sometimes attractive foods and condiments I consume. my life in no way revolves around it. otoh, mayo-hatred seems to be very, uh, highly motivating to a small segment of ilxors.

my life more or less revolves around mayo. no shame in my game.

I won't say I'm a mayonist, but I'm mayo-friendly.

aimless is the mayonnaise of ilx

Rude!

yet creamy

And good with turkeys.

otoh, mayo-hatred seems to be very, uh, highly motivating to a small segment of ilxors.

look if yall were smearing rheum on your toast and saying how delightful it was I think there'd be a number of people who felt motivated to say "fuckin', no"

I used to call it semennaise but stopped because I don't want to associate something lovely with the gunge that is the devil's condiment

I'll take that as being pro-mayo?

...smearing rheum on your toast and saying how delightful it was I think there'd be a number of people...

I guess we'll find out if you're right soon enough, or at least soon enough to suit me.

lol at this whole thing

especially the idea of vegan mayo

I mean, really

Just had a mayo epiphany. Only alleged foodstuff that becomes more gross the bigger the container is?

Marmite, maybe? I love both, so have no idea what you're all talking about.

jesus christ hot mayonnaise mixed with eggs barrrrrrrf

satan is real

also i dunno if anyone in the history of condiments has ever described mayonnaise as being 'light and delicate'

i'm beginning to suspect hellman's marketing department was infiltrated by deranged pranksters sometime in the 70s and it took a while for anyone to notice

can we talk about the cheese cones for a minute

i'd really rather not if that's okay with you

that thread's over here

Completely disgusting foods our parents ate

a cheese/mayonnaise faux-pine cone quietly melting on a side table during a festive gathering

slowly spreading like an oil slick across the serving dish, lapping against the carrot slices

its unholy egg/dairy scent hanging spectre-like over the room

the guests straining to maintain their small talk, rictus grins, fists tight on wine-glass stems and beads of sweat tricking down their temples as they fight not to look at... the thing... in the corner

so i am a long-time anti-mayo hardliner but i made some at home this weekend to use in deviled eggs for a party and...i liked it, it was good

still v skeptical of industrial mayo
