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.
Hello, People: The French Invented Mayonnaise

I’m from Pittsburgh. We put Heinz ketchup on everything! Especially hot dogs! My favorite thing is Heinz ketchup dipper packages with my Chick-fil-A waffle fries.
My favorites - yellow mustard, ketchup, bbq sauce, and seasoned rice vinegar.
I used to use Miracle Whip but they changed the recipe sometime in the past 10-15 years (soy oil) and it isn’t the same. Mostly used to make some salads and to have on chicken/turkey sandwiches (not lunch meat) and tuna. I sometimes use Thousand Island dressing in place of the Miracle Whip on sandwiches.
I have found some copy cat recipes but I haven’t tried to make any of them yet.
Our Wal-Mart started carrying Dukes mayo. We have a squeeze bottle of it but I haven’t had anything that I would use it with to eat since we got the bottle.
The rare times I get a fast food burger I always have it no mayo because they usually put too much.
People spit in food and worse in burger chain places. Management knows regs and suc, but the people assembling the food are the ones that do or dont follow them.
All i was saying is what you are. If you make it yourself and store it yourself, properly, you will know there will be no problems with it.
With cheddar cheese and ground horseradish.
How do they eat a tomato sandwich in TX? I’d ask my (Texan) husband, but he’s asleep.
Even the crap they label as being made from olive oil, you will see the first ingredient is SOYBEAN OIL.
No Soybean Squeezin's... EVER!
After Thanksgiving sandwich:
White bread
White turkey meat
A lot of Mayonnaise
And a glass of milk
Still, Fresh, ice cold, homemade Horchata from the Mexican grocer/butcher in Kermit, TX is my favorite.
One other reason to move to Texas is that the standard hamburger from What-A-Burger comes with mustard like God intended. Ketchup is for kids.
My Mom is 101 years old and grew up in Astoria, Ny. She remembers Mr. Hellman selling his mayo door to door!
“Smooth & Creamy”? I prefer the “Chunky”.
Then I moved. First to the central Illinois, then NW Pennsylvania. It seems that a hoagie to these people is 2 slices of bologna on a hotdog roll.
Last week I was in Waterbury, CT for a job and got an Italian Combo "Grinder" from Nardelli's. Good bread, generous amount of meat on it... I was in heaven.
Another great East Coast deli sandwich is a "Corned Beef Special". In parts of the Midwest, they've never even heard of "Corned Beef Specials".
“Miracle Whip is the work of the Devil.”
Nothing that heavenly can be anything by manna from heaven
No, No, No -
You have put the nose where the mouth is supposed to go!
And your “nose” is not even big enough for it to even
be able to breathe through it! “Aristocratic” noses give
Twinkie a royal pain in the patoot!
Brutus is up early this morning yowling & wanting me to
let her outside. The coyotes were out last night in the
river bottom yowling. Brutus is a fanatic about being
OUTSIDE! Dub is penned up on the porch. If I let her out
to protect Brutus, she will be out in the yard barking
her head off loud enough to wake the distant
neighbors; so that’s out.
Now; THIS snag with the things mouth & nose problem!
Mayo masks the flavor of beef, while mustard brings out the flavor.
Whataburger knew this while Burger King never got it straight.
With cheddar cheese and ground horseradish.
I'm pretty sure that I tried horseradish, which even sounds awful to me, bringing to mind "horse rash" or "horse a**", decades ago when I was a kid and didn't like it.
_______________________________
“The intact horseradish root has hardly any aroma. When cut or grated, however, enzymes from the now-broken plant cells break down sinigrin (a glucosinolate) to produce allyl isothiocyanate (mustard oil), which irritates the mucous membranes of the sinuses and eyes.
Grated mash should be used immediately or preserved in vinegar for best flavor.
Once exposed to air or heat it will begin to lose its pungency, darken in color, and become unpleasantly bitter tasting over time.”
“The distinctive pungent taste of horseradish is from the compound allyl isothiocyanate. Upon crushing the flesh of horseradish, the enzyme myrosinase is released and acts on the glucosinolates sinigrin and gluconasturtiin, which are precursors to the allyl isothiocyanate.
The allyl isothiocyanate serves the plant as a natural defense against herbivores.
Since allyl isothiocyanate is harmful to the plant itself, it is stored in the harmless form of the glucosinolate, separate from the myrosinase enzyme.
When an animal chews the plant, the allyl isothiocyanate is released, repelling the animal.[17]”
Try the Aldi house brand (Burman) mayo with olive oil. I’ve never had creamier mayo. Ever!
(my mom’s from New Orleans - I KNOW good mayo.. :-)
Good deal :-) !
Be mindful of the cap as there are two types of openings.
The red flip-top dispenses a thin stream of mayo.
Remove the red cap and it dispenses a star shaped stream.
BTW - We have a LOT of Koreans here in Atlanta thus a LOT of Korean grocery stores. I stock up on the Korean Kewpie knockoff (Ottogi Gold Mayo) mayo when it’s on sale ($2.99 - $3.99).
Not as good as Kewpie but pretty darn close..
tabasco sauce is nothing but vinegar and heat..
but Cholula is heat with flavor...
tabasco sauce is not a condiment
