I hate Freakin’ Mayonnaise

[ukgimp]

A simple task like buying sandwiches becomes my eternal nightmare. All but one of around 200 sandwiches had flaming mayonnaise on them. The other day I was pleased to see a sandwich that was called “simply chicken”. Fantastic I thought, but out of suspicion I checked the ingredients only to discover that “simply chicken” contains mayonnaise with black pepper. I wrote to the makers and pointed out my problem and their misleading packaging. I got a full apology, £5 and a promise that it would be passed onto their branding dept.

Add to that monkeys at restaurants who successfully omit the mayonnaise only to add coleslaw, which if I am not mistaken is made with f’in mayonnaise.

Anyhow, I don’t expect you to care or for this post to make it onto the front page on WebmasterWorld I just wanted to complain to the world at large

Good game, Mayonaise.

Nice try, Mustard.

>I am still perfectly preserved after 31 yrs ;) <

Some may argue that point.

[jatar_k]

hehe, I mean on the inside

[mivox]

Do any of the preservatives leak out when you get a new piercing? Does it help prevent degradation of the tatoos?

I come from humble roots. There's nothing better than cold, leftover meatloaf between two pieces of white bread, smeared with either real mayo or Miracle Whip.

Love it on french fries! YUM

Mayo for burgers, mustard for hot dogs...

Here in the Midwest, we are almost at the time of year where one can get REAL tomatoes - the homegrown kind. These bear no resemblance to the ethylene-ripened croquet balls you usually find in the supermarket. Combine a freshly picked, warm from the sun tomato with crisp toast and tangy mayo... I'm salivating already! (Add bacon & lettuce for a BLT.)

Dragonlady, I like both mayo and horseradish, but have never mixed them... do tell...

[mahlon]

I almost forgot, penutbutter and mayo sandwitch! :)

>leak out when you get a new piercing? Does it help prevent degradation of the tatoos? <

Now that made me laugh. :)

Mayonnaise and horseradish mixed together and slathered over roast beef, delicious.

Then there's the only reason I keep catsup in the house, I mix horseradish and catsup (heavy on the horseradish) and a dash or two of lemon juice to make my own shrimp cocktail sauce.

I love freakin' mayonnaise. Especially on fries. I live in Canada, so eating mayo on my fries is considered the height of wierdness.

Rather than cheese curds and gravy which is considered fine dining.

What'chall know about banana & mayonaise?

Like DG said: mix and slather on roast beef or prime rib... also, serve with kielbasa and other sausages. :) Excellent meat dip.

of course

now I'm salivating
mmmm poutine

tattoos and piercings
isn't that a different thread ;)

Poutine has only barely caught on on the West Coast, and even now it is a completely bastardized (can I use that word here? Eek!) version consisting of grated cheddar (sometimes processed - yuck!) and fake beef gravy. Absolutely nothing like the "real" poutine available out East. I quite enjoy poutine, but I don't believe it should be available at A&W, McDonalds, or Burger King.

[panic]

I still say Mayonnaise is pwn daddy.

I guess I was eating horseradish & mayo when I got that creamy horseradish sauce with prime rib. Just never realized what was in it. Now I want to try mixing my own...

[digitalghost]

>>mixing my own

Toss in a few very finely chopped shallots. ;) (I mean paper thin slices)

[ukgimp]

To all those who like said stuff:

You need freakin' help!

To all those who dont like said stuff:

You are my kind of freakin' people! I look forward to sharing the delights of a non contaminated sandwich at pub con.

Well actually i found out in malaysia of all places, that there is one thing better than mayo with your french fries, thats mayo mixed with chilli for your french fries, thats make heaven for mee, and a few ekstra pounds.
Im happy wee dont diskuss the awfull habit some cultures have about using ketchup;)

[werty]

Currently I am on a diet so I try to avoid mayo...certain sandwiches would benefit from it. Such as my chicken club last night...so dry without you.

I have learned to replace it with mustard... my fav is some organic wasabi mustard, so good.

Now back to the mayo, toss a bit of wasabi in that and mix it up, add tuna and other tuna salad ingredients and you have a "spicy tuna salad". Throw that on a sheet of nori(seaweed) and you have a weird sandwich that tastes pretty good and has way less carbs then if it was on bread.

What is it with curry sauce on chips? I have never tried it hear mixed reviews.

Also for chips/fries I am a big fan of the malt vinegar and some salt.

That's nothing, I've seen some establishments offering deep fried mars bars, which is just plain wrong.

[creative craig]

Chips/fries with cheese melted on top, mayo, ketchup and if you can fit them in baked beans as well.

Damn I am hungry right now!

Not as wrong as mayo hehehe :)

/runs away and hides

[Mike12345]

Deep fried mars bars are damm fine, i love em. :)

Mayonnaise on the other hand makes me vomit as does salad cream.

How many times i've found myself in Ukgimp's situation, desparately trying to find sandwich without it, i cant tell you becuase i lose count.

Its almost as annoying as for asking for a plain burger without any relish, sauce or salad of any kind, and receiving a burger, minus meat and plus ten tonnes of rabbit food. Why cant these people cater for those of us with "specific" dietary requirements?

Id be quiote happy to see mayonnaise wiped of the face of the earth! ;)

[werty]

Anyone ever try the deep fried Twinkie [foxnews.com]?

[rogerd]

And we thought DMOZ-bashing was rampant. I never knew there was latent mayo-bashing at WebmasterWorld, just waiting for ukgimp to open the floodgates. :)

[panic]

werty,

I think I've tried a deep fried Twinky or two... if I remember correctly, it was given to me by a homeless man.
