Victor Lachin, an electrical engineer living in southern Mississippi, vividly recalls the first time he tried mayonnaise as a child.
The year was 1966, and he was having lunch at a friend’s house in the Lakefront area of New Orleans. The friend had “a ham sandwich with white Bunny Bread, slathered with Blue Plate mayonnaise,” he tells me over Facebook Messenger. “Asking me what I would like, I responded ‘Peanut butter sandwich, ma’am!’ She complied with a nice Bunny Bread sandwich and a glass of cold white milk.”
Lachin bit into the sandwich, expecting a creamy, nutty taste to fill his mouth. Instead, “Mayonnaise oozed out the side of the crusted bread, coating my tongue and all senses with an oily, sulfur semi-liquid. ... Gagging, I leapt from the kitchen table as her hate-filled babbling told me to never come back again. I remember the sound of a worn corn broom chasing my bare feet out the back door. I climbed the fence to get home.” He was 5 or 6 years old, he reckons.

...and cost $7 for a 16 ounce glass. No wonder they’re broke.

I like anchovies and onions on my pizza. People back away from me while making the sign of the cross when I order one like that.
Don’t tell anyone, but when I go to potlucks, I usually only eat the foods I’VE brought, myself.
OMG, just saw this. Blue cheese dressing & fries are so good. My mouth is watering!
Good point that recently happened to me. Actually it was warm to hot beer as I remember having one in my first car and going to the beach it was a piping hot Molsen Golden. That golden liquid was like it was heaven sent. Recently I had a warm beer and it reminded me of that taste again.
Sometimes it’s just an idea that turns you off, not even an experience. I used to like Ikea’s meatballs, but could never eat them again after they’d detected horse meat in a batch of them - in Europe. Where I’ve never been.
I just can’t eat them now.
Hellmann’s Mayonnaise on Wonder Bread. It don’t get any better than that.
Yeah, I use them both.
Completely agree. I am not a big fan of sweets, anyway.
I can’t stand cooked liver, but can eat liverwurst and pate just fine. Heck I can even eat liver tablets even chewing them and tasting the liver flavor and it doesn’t bother me. Anything but cooked liver.
Dukes is the only way to go. Add some Dijon Mustard or Curry or Worcestershire or cayenne or a little of all of them.
I’ve tried that before, but has anyone tried hot wings (super hot wings) but instead of blue cheese or ranch, use italian dressing or balsalmic vinagrette? It’s like I discovered the secret of life when I eat them.
Mayonnaise is ubiquitous in Dixie period....and real southern ribs whip up their own homemade for their families
Baring that there are three brands
Duke’s is the king.....it’s a Carolina thing but it’s spread...I’m funny right
Hellmans used to be boss hog of Mayo and still runner up and it some places was marketed as Best Foods
Kraft will do...that’s about it
Miracle Whip is not mayo
Yep...And they spend out the ying yang at Starbucks for a cup of coffee...Of course they got have all that goop in their coffee...
If you order just black coffee at Starbucks, the little pencil necked geek behind the counter says, “But, but, but you want just PLAIN coffee???????”
Man me too....I always think of that
Perhaps that's why I love it. I am from eastern North Carolina, where it simply isn't real barbecue* unless the sauce has apple cider vinegar in it. We put vinegar in our cole slaw, too.
*by "barbecue", I mean pork BBQ, whole hog, cooked over wood. Barbecue is not a verb here. ;)
I know I d been married to one over 20 years
Weird eater
Dukes has grown to be favored all over the south trust me
