The Poll Has To Be Done – Mayonnaise, Yes or No?

Saturday, 28 July 2018, 12:36 BFH Uncategorized 60

The Mayo Ice Cream post has opened my eyes to the fact that many people loathe the stuff.

But how many?

Thumb up the yes (I like mayonnaise) or no (I hate mayonnaise) in the comments.

  6. I like it more than I love it. I put a little bit of it on sammiches but not a fan of it when it comes to stuff like potato salads. Sometimes people put more mayo than potatoes in them. Blech.

  7. Disliking mayo must mean you also dislike the dishes it is used in, and that does not compute. I don’t understand how you could eat potato, lobster, tuna, or seafood salads without it. A turkey and swiss on rye needs it. Can’t imagine any fried chicken or seafood without a dab of tartar sauce or a side of coleslaw. I make mean Hawaiian themed burgers that feature a slather of mayo mixed with a smidge of sriracha. I use Helmann’s for salads and Miracle Whip for sandwiches. Agree with MJA, use it sparingly as it’s not the star of the show.

  12. When mayo is handy, I dip my french fries in it the way a lot of people dip fries in ketchup.

    When grilling sandwiches (e.g. grilled cheese) I frequently spread mayo on the bread instead of butter before tossing it in the frying pan. It tastes good, browns well, and isn’t quite as greasy as butter. Don’t get me wrong: I do love butter!

    Duke’s is better than any other mayo I’ve tried.

  16. If the poll is about mayo ice cream, I proudly cast the first negative vote…..if it’s about the stuff in general, then I proudly vote YES–and Hellman’s makes an “extra heavy” mayo that they sell to delis and the like that is the best I’ve ever eaten. It’s got the consistency of spackle, but if you’ve had a NY metro area roast beef sammich and put mayo on it, you’ve sampled it!
    It brings me back to my misspent youth on Long Island in the sixites.

  18. @Pelopidas: My family’s from Illinois originally and all we had in the house for a long time was Miracle Whip because that’s what they used in Springfield when my mom was a girl.
    Gimme a baloney sandwich with ‘Whip and I’ll follow you anywhere!

  20. I prefer Miracle Whip because that was all we had in the house when I was growing up. I will eat mayo as a second choice, but it does not sound appealing to me as an ice cream flavor.

  21. I say yes. That makes me a racist.
    Although mayo is better when mixed with some color.
    Red usually.
    Sometimes green.
    Rarely brown,
    and never black.

    Ever made your own mayo with your own oils and fresh eggs?
    Don’t do it. It tastes too good.

  22. Mayo ice cream?

    Little childrens’ ice cream, Mandrake?

    If you allow the gateway drug of mayo ice cream, you unlock the door to all manner of condimental perversion. Dijon popsicles, Worcestershire icees, malt vinegar sherbet. Where do you draw the line? I say we draw it here and now.

    JUST SAY NO TO MAYO ICE CREAM.

    It’s for the children.

  23. Grew up on Miracle Whip. ( Is this a Midwest thing?)
    Mr. Illustr8r hates it though so we have both in the fridge.
    I can vouch for Uncle Al’s grilled cheese cooking method-it works and tastes great! 👍👍

  25. YES! A thousand ways!Thickly spread on white bread with slabs of fresh tomatoes and lots of salt! Slathered on cold slices of roast beef–great Atkins snack!Mixed with mustard–yellow or Dijon–to dip ham or cheese or chicken strips. And yes, it gives grilled sandwiches a special “edge”. Mixed with ketchup for french fries or jojos. Two cups per batch of potato salad or Hawaiian-style macaroni salad. Oh yeah. I love mayo. Cut the carbs. Eat the mayo. Stay thin.

    ps carb-laden items above are limited for me, but I do indulge.

  31. Is Dukes an east coast/ Midwest thing, never heard of it except on IOTW. I like Nalley’s, but that is probably a west coast thing. Miracle Whip makes me gag; too sweet.

  33. I’m unable to thumb anyone or a poll up in the better weather months. For some reason this site and a few others insist on hijacking my mobile browsers with annoying “CONGRATULATIONS!” pages. As a result, I’ve disabled javascript and am no longer able to thumb up.

    I’ve cleared everything, uninstalled and reinstalled, managed settings to prevent popups, etc.

    Having said that. Count me as a YES, provided we aren’t talking about Miracle Shit.

  35. Duke’s is a Sauer’s spice company product. Definitely southeastern. From Richmond. Good stuff.

    As for mayo, it must be used in moderation and treated with respect. By respect I mean, REFRIGERATION!

    Don’t make me tell y’all the Steven and David Register story again. Two of my classmates that died from mayo.
    My school was on the corner of Orange Grove and Colorado Blvds, where the Rose Parade turns.

    These knuckleheads found a bag of sandwiches under the bleachers and ate them.

    Dead.

    Love/hate relationship with mayo. Don’t let the inscription on your headstone be….

    DEATH BY MAYO.

  37. Count me in with the Mayolicious crowd! But I do not eat soy, so it’s Trader Joe’s for us.

    I’ll look up that Sir Kensington brand and see what kind of oil they use. Prefer to avoid Canola as well, PJ. Too lazy to make my own. Mayo on scrambled eggs with chorizo and salsa verde…. Delisioso!

  38. Love and respect the calories Duke’s has – mayo is too dangerous to keep around = have had family members almost die from bad mayo scoots (of dehydration and salmonella)

    Don’t eat the little packs unless you are sure they are refrigerated.

    Fries and Dukes/mixed w ketchup is great

  39. PHenry, I never refrigerate mayo. Once had a Costco sized jar and it lasted us six months, sitting on the counter, while living on Maui. Also took a three month road trip to Baja with a jar of Mayo in the food bin, not the cooler. I think the trick is to not put it in the fridge in the first place. Once it’s been refrigerated, it MUST remain so. I do not, however, eat “found food.” Mayo, or not.
    I’m sorry about your friends. Indimex

  40. Hellmans Mayo – when we run out of it I consider us to be in a State of Emergency.

    Miracle Whip to Hellmans is like eating margarine over BUTTER.

    Ham and swiss on rye, mayo on the heavy side…IS the WAY to go…

    Mayo is egg based and therefore considered a food group…salt and pepper are condiments!

    Where can I get this Dukes stuff!

  43. Mayo’s OK, it’s not an issue with me.
    Some people leave mayo in the cupboard, along with catsup and mustard. Commercial maple syrup can sit in the cupboard, too.
    We put a stick of salted butter in a plastic container and leave it sit on the counter for days – we haven’t died yet.
    Think pickles in a big keg at the old timey stores, and we have been brainwashed to be scared of stuff that never happens.
    Sell by and Use by dates are phony times. If the package or jar hasn’t been opened , it won’t go bad. Commercial canned goods can sit for years in the cupboard with no harm or changing of the product.

  46. Hey. We were in the 5th or 6th grade and the Register boys had croaked over the weekend. The word was mayo. Coulda been bad lunch meat. But 50+/- years believing it was the mayo is hard to break.

    Billy Spence and Doug Wilson said so. They were the coolest guys in my grade.

  50. what’s next? … ketchup flavored? mustard flavored? onion flavored? Old Bay flavored ice cream?

    I mean really … how many people you know go to the fridge for a hit of a big horkin’ spoonful of mayo? … oh yeah, yum!
    get the blender out kids! we’re gonna have some delicious mayo smoothies!

  51. As a little kid about 5 or 6 yo I was told mayo came from the back Of a negros ear. I kept looking behind their ears and eventually I swear I saw it. Have never had it since.

  52. PHENERY
    A famous WW2 Gen was born + raised about 20 mi from your school. His name is?

    Hint 114 years ago he became famous for blowing the brains out of a Mex. Gen who ordered 500 priests elected – Cardenas, Mexicans love Cardinis last time I was in Ensenada there was still a big state of him on his charger in the Plaza de Revolucion (Revolution Park).

  53. LOVE mayo. Don’t eat ice cream.
    Homegrown tomatoes with salt and lots of mayo on sourdough bread: Mmmmm!
    Butter is for toast; mayo is for bread.
    Refrigerate both… but if you want soft butter in the morning, get you a ‘butter bell.’ Best thing since sliced bread –and, what a coincidence: they go together!! Seriously, google that and you will thank me. Get one for everyone on your Christmas list and you are done. They will thank you. You’re welcome.

  57. How I REALLY feel about Mayo

    She tried to ease my mastication
    Cause I’d busted up a crown
    Like a fool, I gave a little chew
    Turned my taste buds upside down

    MAYO!! You got me on my knees
    MAYO!! I’m beggin you darling please
    Mayo … wont you scrape it off my rye

    I’ll get some rest under sedation
    Dear, I almost went insane
    On my bread, dont ever use that spread
    Next time just serve my tuna plain

    MAYO!! You got me on my knees
    Mayo! I’m beggin you darling please
    Mayo .. wont you leave it off my rye

  58. We always bought Hellman’s, but I kept hearing people say how wonderful Duke’s was,
    so I bought a jar.

    Meh. No big diff, as far as I can tell. Maybe a little fattier-tasting, that’s about all.
    Doesn’t have the zing that Hellman’s has, either.

    Guess I’m not a mayonnaise connoisseur.
