The Science of Mayonnaise Disgust

Yes, yes and yes, vile condiment. Smell is first, taste second, texture third.

I hate mayo, yet when you mix with ketchup and spices it's great.

I fricking love mayonnaise.

Good

Mayo was never meant for the poors anyway



This. The King of the Condiments laughs at the people that find it disgusting. Enjoy your sugary ketchup and tenement-resident mustard, plebeians.

LOL, and and LOL

Yeah right.

My mustard says hello

Dumb article is dumb. The texture of mayo has triggered the author (and I use that term loosely) so much that she actually wrote an article that leads off with...

I have fought a one-sided battle with a popular fast casual restaurant chain

...over their use of mayo. There's a couple of context clues she's missing though. 1) Why does she think her battle is one-sided? That should tell her something. And 2) if a "popular" restaurant is using it on their sandwiches, it's obviously a very popular condiment. Otherwise it would be a terrible business decision to do so.

Do what sensible people do...if you don't like the food at certain place, go somewhere else. Mayo is king of the condiments and always will be.

One of life's terrible moments, is biting into a burger that you specifically ordered with no mayo, only to get a mouthful of that slimy, vile condiment.

What is it with fast food chefs who think that "Mayo" means a half jar of Mayo on a sandwich.

My favorite example of grossness would be a Subway "sandwich chef" who puts half of a squirt bottle of may on a 6 inch chicken sub as you are screaming "Only a very small bit".

They must teach them that, because they always looked at me like I was crazy when I ordered my 6 inch tuna, with lettuce, tomato and "No mayo". If you have never been to a subway, the tuna salad already has mayo in it, but the way they want to serve it is with an additional half gallon of mayo squirted on top of the already mayo mixed tuna.

Yes I have eaten at subway. Not so much as a retired guy. but it was the only sandwich option in DeKalb, MS when I worked.

edit to add:

Maybe my worst fast food mayo experience was one morning at maybe 9:00 am in Copenhagen when after a 14 hour flight/trip (don't ask why so long) I decided I had to have some food before crashing in my hotel, which would not allow me into my room for another 2 hours. Just a half block down from my refused hotel room was a Burger King (evidently popular there). A whopper sounded ok to help me drift into a few hour nap before my first meeting that night.

"Would you like fries with that?"
"Sure."
"Here. enjoy."
"What is that half liter mess squirted all over my fries?"
"Mayo. It is how we serve them here."

It's their ketchup, oddly enough. I work international occasionally and all the Euro's do it. Just gobs and gobs of it. I love mayo but c'mon man.

I don’t hate mayo, but a little goes a long way. Most fast food workers don’t understand that and absolutely drown their sandwiches in the stuff. I actually like a little mayo, especially on a shrimp po’boy with lettuce and tomato, but fast food restaurants will destroy anything you order with mayo if you let them, and almost more often than not will do so even when you tell them not to.

Hellmann's mayo is my favorite condiment. I could eat spoonfuls of it.

And this is the reason I actually like the Whopper and the processed to all hell chicken sandwich.
