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

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

xp colour and honour are abstract concepts, do what you want; chili is ~our~ food (and by "our" i mean...mesoamerican??)

The first documented recipe for "chile con carne" is dated September 2, 1519. The ingredients were boiled tomatoes, salt, chiles and meat. Bernal Diaz del Castillo, one of Hernan Cortez's Captains and the source of the recipe, states in his book, that the Cholulan Indians, allied with the Aztecs, were so confident of victory in a battle against the Conquistadors the following day that they had "already prepared cauldrons of tomatoes, salt and chiles" in anticipation of a victory feast. The one missing ingredient, the meat, was to be furnished by the Conquistadors themselves: their own flesh.

this can't possibly be true, but i want it to be very badly for some reason.

anyway we're all wrong about the spelling, but i think aztecs and cholulans and cortes would all agree that mayo fucking blows and should stay the fuck away from my bean and dead spaniard stew

It's not uncommon. My mom did it too.

Apply whole egg mayonnaise on your face (right from the jar) for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

you know there is a vegan mayo substitute called AMAZINNAISE. this maybe belongs in semantics c/d though.

I think one of the things that makes people adding mayonnaise to things so distressing is how shiny it is. like it glistens. other stuff is shiny, too, but it's usually a pristine, status shine, like mozzarella. it's not cheap weird coruscating congealy spiciness in a jar, like mayo.

Shininess in a jar, sorry. I'm not referring to chilli'd mayo.
