There exists in this world a condiment below all others. It has all of the flavor of sawdust and the sublime texture of soap scum. Until recently, I was unaware that The Federalist, lovers of freedom, etc., was complicit in its spread. I rise today to defend America—nay, the world—against such scurrilous anti-food propaganda.
As all Americans, especially Texans, know, mayonnaise is a tool of oppression used by communists and bland-food lovers everywhere. It is a form of mind control designed to cow you into a sense of complacency about life. Food has flavor, and mayo covers that flavor up. It destroys your ability to taste.
What do you do to a food if it is too intense, and you’re not Texan? You add mayonnaise. In much the same way that salt is used to flavor food, mayonnaise is used to bland it. It is flavor’s anti-particle: it annihilates on contact.

Love mayonnaise.... potato salad and chicken salad must have mayo!
It’s not a condiment, it’s a lubricant.
Excellent for dry sandwich ingredients that are otherwise hard to swallow.
Just so it isn't yellow. Yellow mustard looks and tastes gross.
Has to be brown, Dijon or horseradish.
NO! Miracle Whip is the worst condiment....
Well, at least you didn't say "Marmite" ... or "Vegemite" for all of you Aussies ... Vile stuff.
I believe it, I'm that way.
It's the same with peanut butter, you're either in the Skippy's or Jif camp, although there are many other choices too, but not 50 years ago.
Recently, I used that source to stock up on a brand of olive oil that I'd grown to like (the only local shop that had it closed). Prime-eligible shipping!
I was just kidding. Not so sure about the other person.

My late wife detested the yellow mustard. When I used it .. and I love it because of the sharp vinegar flavor .. she called it "baby-sh*t" mustard.
My wife loves it. This had led to tensions.
LOL, you just need his and her refrigerators :-)
I’ve never liked Miracle Whip.. Too Greasy.. Do love Myo though!!!

If this is a political discussion, I assume the liberal position is that they are obligated to protect others from an opposing view of mayonnaise.
My position as a Christian Conservative Citizen is that I like mayonnaise and whether you do or don’t is not my business.
I like it for the same reason I like bacon, it is largely fat and fat is comfortable. I appreciate all cogent information regarding the health consequences of consuming mayonnaise or bacon. However, from there on it is my decision whether to consume either and in what amounts.
You are right, mayonnaise is not a condiment.It is a major food group! My favorite sandwich is mayonnaise and peanut butter. One year’s worth of fat in one sitting.
I did an unofficial survey once on one of these Mayo threads.
...
Multiple threads, huh? A thousand years from now historians will research what was important to people of today and that’s what they’ll find along with arguments about the proper sauce or marinade for BBQ.
Mrs. Enfield and the two magazines (Thing 1 & Thing 2) also do not care for mayo. Mrs. E. also hates bratwurst, says they look like “d**ks”, haven’t asked her why she hates mayo.
I hate even a micro drop of mayo.
Kewpie mayonnaise from Japan is hands down the BEST (and most $$$$) mayo in the entire universe..
LOL. My mom said that too. I guess it stuck withe because every time I see yellow mustard, I think, baby poo.
