There’s no shortage of divisive foods in the world, but for many people, there seems to be a special kind of derision reserved especially for one particular condiment: Mayo. Some people really hate mayonnaise. And it isn’t just always just simple dislike; among the anti-mayo crowd, there’s a contingent who are vehemently opposed to the stuff. Feelings can run so strongly that it might lead you to wonder exactly why so many people hate mayonnaise so much — but perhaps not unexpectedly, there isn’t just one explanation for the strength of feeling so many share about mayo. It might come down to any number of possibilities, according to several experts with whom Bustle recently spoke — but together, these possibilities paint a compelling larger picture about what fuels our likes and dislikes when it comes to our gastronomic experiences.

Love mayo. But then again, I’m not overly picky about most things. Excessive pickiness is effeminate.
I bet “experts” have never had a fresh Georgia tomato and Dukes mayo sandwich.
I rest my case.
Totally agree!!
So no chicken salad, no ham salad, no egg salad, no deviled eggs . . .
I love Miracle Whip - I know it’s not mayo - I figured that out when dad sent me for mayo and I brought it home one time....ooof.
I really like Mayo too....my wife being from Japan we pretty much only have Kewpie Mayo, unless it’s packets picked up with an order somewhere.
While I can enjoy a burger with mayo it’s not a preference - in fact a good hamburger for me can be simply the meat, some cheese, grilled onions, and pickles...maybe some lettuce.
[The French eat their potato fries with mayo, instead of ketchup.]
When I was a kid, I put mayonnaise on my hot dogs. (I know: YUCK!!!) As a teen, I went to a bit of catsup on them,and then as an adult, I preferred mustard on hotdogs.
But Mayo is still overall my favorite sandwich condiment spread for most cold sammiches and hamburgers, although sometimes I prefer mustard (or thousand island) on a burger.
Yes. I am solidly Team Duke’s.
>> I know I’m weird, I can’t stand mayo.
I’ll have yours!
How about mustard?
YUM. Mayo on corn on the cob. I love mayo.
Men that eat a lot of mayonnaise are suspect....
2 egg yolks
1 tbl fresh lemon juice
1 tbl white wine vinegar
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp sugar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup olive oil
Chef John’s recipe from Food Wishes
I was just thinking of that.... While I do like Mayo, that Saturday Night Live skit of eating straight Mayonnaise; a big spoonful right out of the jar, Mayo cone, etc. made me physically cringe.
I forget though, if it was Eddie Murphy, John Belushi, Aykroyd , or a several of them that did that skit.
[How about mustard?]
I often mark Mayo sandwiches. Nothing but mayo. Love ‘em. I’ve e counted myself lucky all my life that I was and remain the absolute opposite of “picky”. Especially when I see what I regard as excessive anger or disgust if say a steak isnt cooked as ordered. If I order rare and it comes well done I’m fine. I may like rare better but I’ll eat the well one and enjoy it. Liver and turnips set off the gag reflex. So no go there but that’s it.
Yep better flavorings, personally I make whole egg mayo, at least when it is only me.
