Mayo is great, it's the only thing that's correct for putting on a BLT with the possible exception of horseradish sauce. Mustard does not belong on a BLT. And it knows that.

I have managed to eat mayo on the handful of occasions when to reject the mayo-laden food would have been worse for me than eating the mayo. I'm not a savage.

I'm disgusted by mayo partly out of habit, partly because of its texture en masse, and also because I don't much care for "creamy" things -- soups, salad dressing, etc. Don't even like cream cheese.

mayo is from hell when i can taste it and i literally can't have it on my tongue without gagging. touching it isn't a good experience either (and having worked in a deli i've gotten a lot of it on my hands)

as an ingredient though it's great. i've been making a perfect spicy pasta salad with a mayo base, and i make egg salad all the time, and deviled eggs of course.

I think mayo is great, but the one terrible mayo memory (mayomory?) I have is one time when a friend of one of my flatmates walked in with two large naan breads and a small har of Hellmann's. He heated the naans in the microwave, and then proceeded to eat them by dipping them straight into the jar. The jar was empty once he'd finished. It was the most disgusting thing I ever saw that didn't involve involuntary release of bodily fluids/waste products.

Oh I would just like to add that Japanese mayo is the best mayo, all other mayos get behind

If they made Marmite mayonnaise, that would be very useful.

I thought that Miracle Whip was to Mayo as Margarine is to Butter. I really have no idea whats in it, but I like it way more thatn "real" mayo.

late to this party but putting mayo on chili is the most abominable thing I have ever heard of. sanctions against countries that allow this outrage imo

mayo is the devil's condiment, but i can tolerate a little -- just a little -- in tuna salad and egg salad. mayo-based macaroni salad and potato salad can gtfo tho.

how can you only have a little in egg salad without it just being eggs

agreed on macaroni and potato salad, that shit is just solid food slathered in mayo

Mayonnaise is an essential ingredient in potato salad - omitting it would be like leaving out the chives.

actually there are many styles of potato salad and guess which ones actually taste good, if you said "the ones without mayonnaise" then you are a potato champion

aero otm itt

also: i only hate three foods: mayo, overcooked green beans, and ranch dressing. but of the three, mayo is the only one that offends me.

i'm kinda w/e on green beans but basically this is my food MO. except that it's ranch that offends me, but that's because of a specific insult that involved a Very Bad Film that my friend found in a plastic bag on a beach in new york.

also wtf is "chilli"? i don't normally hate britishist spelling (go ahead, use a "u"), but this is nonsense---do you guys put an extra "t" in burrito? chili is a food, chilli is a veg, and chile is a country

My dad makes vinegar based potato salad which is a++ but I still like the mayo kind every now and then which is pretty much like once a year if that

i should add that as a TITLE-HOLDING CHILI COOK-OFF CHAMPION i am appalled at this mayo-in-chili business and will be writing my congressman as soon as i stop throwing up

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
