Mayonnaise - Nectar of the Gods or Himmler's knob cheese?

Good mayonnaise is very useful and delicious. Bad mayonnaise is basically a shitty way to moisten bread. Kind of a split decision on that.

French fries: first the malt vinegar, then the salt, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh then the mayo.

It's no gentleman's relish.

Let's stick to good mayo. Like Kensington's.

Around here, you get arrested for jacking off onto a sandwich.

Neutral on mayo. It's rarely something I think to use and don't feel the poorer for it, but if it shows up on a sandwich it's no great crime.

Mayo is the most pointless thing I can think of in existence. It does the same thing as many other condiments except provides zero flavor and a shit ton of fat. It's baffling as to why it is a thing.

Total horseshit! Mayo is packed with creamy, lemony, eggy goodness. You west coast calorie counters are so damned boring sometimes.

I'm going home to eat canned bread*:

*With mayo.

Hoy has long-standing feud with mayonnaise, which means two things:

A. He's never had good mayonnaise
B. Mayonnaise is by default good, since Hoy is wrong.

I love mayonnaise. My fave secret use is as dip for boiled artichokes.

I steam my artichokes, but mayo is the base for my dip. I cut it with some Greek yogurt to make it less of a heart attack and add lemon juice and a mix of salt, pepper, garlic power, onion powder, dried parsley, dried dill, paprika, and turmeric. It ends up basically a lemony ranch aioli, and it's good as hell.

I read that first as anchovy and was like, "Hot diggity!".
