Mayo is excellent.

Mayo on a poultry sandwich is good.

Mayo-based "salads" are horrifying unless they are tuna salad or the salad has a shit-ton of curry powder in it

Mayo-based potato salad is like eating Rainbow Brite's stale vomit

Mayo on a hamburger is like eating a cow sneeze

I don't eat meat anymore but mayo on a bacon cheeseburger is delicious.

So is potato salad (as long as there's not too much mayo). You're crazy.

I would have to respectfully disagree, that sounds about as appetizing a 2 girls 1 cup burger

3 parts mayo to one yellow burger mustard and one ketchup, plus paprika, cayenne, and crushed garlic, plus finely diced gherkins, is the burger relish of the gods.

Mayo with hot smoked paprika, sea salt, crushed garlic, sundried tomato paste, and Spanish sherry vinegar is an amazing, quick, cheat bravas for some potatas.

Hot chips dipped in mayo is amazing.

A big blob of mayo on the side of a bowl of chilli is amazing.

Bacon sandwich with rocket and mayo is amazing.

Aioli is always amazing.

Hated mayo as a kid but love I now. Have to whip it to a smooth consistency, though.

Why the fuck would you put mayo in chili

sour cream is for chili guys

surm, Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link

I made some homemade mayo recently but it turned out too lemony to be a versatile sandwich condiment. Made a batch of tuna salad with it though and it was perfect, no surprise there.

xp gotta say, mayo in chili sounds horrifying.

The Jesus and Mary Lizard (WmC), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link

You don't put it IN chilli, you have it on the side, as a condiment, because its fucking lush, dude. That creaminess, with the spiciness of a chilli, om nom nom. First did it cos we'd run out of sour cream. Never gone back.

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

Mayo with chilli is totally no like mayo in chicken noodle soup, dude. Have you ever tried it?

Lets cover this bacon with maple syrup and put it on a pancake but FUCK NO NOT CHILLI WITH MAYO.

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:51 (eleven years ago) link

You don't put it IN chilli, you have it on the side, as a condiment,

How does this work, do you get a spoonful of chili and dunk it in the ramekin of mayo on the side so it coats the back of your spooon or what

How do you have guacamole with chilli?

Am literally astonished that you're astonished by this.

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.

The Jesus and Mary Lizard (WmC), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:53 (eleven years ago) link

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.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:53 (eleven years ago) link

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

j., Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:53 (eleven years ago) link

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

horseshoe, Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:54 (eleven years ago) link

turkey sandwich, for example

xp

horseshoe, Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:54 (eleven years ago) link

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

controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:54 (eleven years ago) link

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.

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:54 (eleven years ago) link

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?

The Jesus and Mary Lizard (WmC), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:55 (eleven years ago) link

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

cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:55 (eleven years ago) link

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

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 23 September 2012 15:57 (eleven years ago) link

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

the late great, Sunday, 23 September 2012 16:00 (eleven years ago) link

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.

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

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 23 September 2012 16:01 (eleven years ago) link

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

cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Sunday, 23 September 2012 16:01 (eleven years ago) link

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

cherry (soda), Sunday, 23 September 2012 16:03 (eleven years ago) link

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.

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 23 September 2012 16:06 (eleven years ago) link

do you squeeze the mayo on through a bag

the late great, Sunday, 23 September 2012 16:07 (eleven years ago) link

Hot sauce yes

I steam eggs instead of boiling now

That’s what my new thing does, it steams a cold egg for 10 minutes to hard-boiled perfection

calstars, Sunday, 31 December 2023 23:35 (three months ago) link

Is it the oil or raw egg yolk that drives the mayo haters mad? We don't know for sure, but every lame-o loves to dip their shit kebab in the local toum and tell other garlic fans how advanced they are in garlic pursuits.

Natural Wine • Danny Devito • Virginia (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 1 January 2024 03:34 (three months ago) link

I'm fine with mayo, but based on the many comments made by people repulsed by it I'd say it is neither oil nor egg yolk that bothers the majority of them, but the combination of unctuous mouth feel and gloppy white appearance that triggers their revulsion. Taste doesn't seem to enter it nearly as much as those two factors. Now they can speak for themselves in their usual eloquent fashion.

the warm eggy smell & schlorpy sound & gelatinous quiver turn some people off i guess

lol at the proud garlic gourmands, keep yr heads up you kings of stankbreath! no, higher, please, up out the sunroof if you wouldn't mind

it also tastes like shit

Do people who dislike the texture of mayo also dislike pudding? As someone who's pro- both of those things, their textures aren't worlds apart (although the oiliness of mayo is obviously distinct).

a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 2 January 2024 19:34 (three months ago) link

Plus, you don't eat mayo like you eat pudding*, so I don't see the problem with texture.

* If you do, that's probably why you don't like mayo.

Re jiggliness — when I was in college I remember seeing fellow students eat bowls of flavored yogurt (not Greek but like vats of berry-flavored regular yogurt) decanted into bowls and gobbled up with spoons. I had the same reaction as I do to mayo. It’s not logical or fair but it seems to come from some primordial disgust I have no control over.

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Tuesday, 2 January 2024 20:13 (three months ago) link

Also that was v long time ago and I got over my yogurt problem. I have no trouble w pudding but have yet to accept mayo on my food.

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Tuesday, 2 January 2024 20:23 (three months ago) link

has anyone made a "mayo pop"?
