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.

Life is not worth living w/out Hellman’s REAL mayo.
One unusual way I used mayo that was utterly delicious-——leftover Chinese takeout had very little sauce left.
So I added mayo and mixed it in.
The mayo took on the Chinese flavors and made an unctuous sauce for the leftovers.
You are most definitely MY kinda people!
I love mayonnaise, especially the fresh mayonnaise made with olive oil that they sell in delis in France. Yum, yum!
LOL
Bacon sandwiches, ham sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, salmon on saltines, deviled eggs, egg salad, potato salad, bologna sandwiches, salami sandwiches, tuna fish sandwiches, tuna on saltines, ... yep, it's nearly everything! ;^)
Bring out the Best Foods or go hungry.
Yup. I found a Vietnamese bakery here that knows its stuff on baguettes, brioche and other remnants of French Indochina. Hmm, time for an errand...
"Wave good-bye to your buddies, Mayonnaise! Oh, I forgot. You don't have any buddies, do you? Only customers!"
I completely agree. Mayonnaise is disgusting.
You’re a handsome guy, ETL. :-)
It’s also good with french fries, especially with a bit of Frank’s sauce mixed in.
I’m ordering some of the Duke’s mayo. :) I like the idea of a bit more lemon juice in the mix.
I grew up on the Canadian border and early on I realized the ONLY thing you put on fries is malt vinegar. I tried poutine once-meh.

If you want to get technical about it.
But in the end both are white creamy spreads. One is sweet and the other isn’t.
Home grown Big Boy tomatoes with mayonnaise and salt!

Kill mayonnaise lovers!!!!
My 2¢ is Miracle Whip is for salads. I use Burman's real mayo from Aldi, less than two bucks for a big jar, go through several a year. Walmart wants almost $4 a jar, no way.
You can get that at amazon. Hellmann’s makes it.
Yeah, unsweetened tea is okay. All in all, I like to save us my caffeine allowance for strong coffee.
No mayo means no horseradish sauce for your prime rib or roast beef, no tartar sauce for your beer-batter fried fish, no Ranch dressing for anything.
