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.

Lol
That was good..made me laugh out loud
Duke’s is my mayo! It’s the only one I’ll use. It has a more tart, lemony taste, to me, than the others.
Prefer Miracle Whip, only eat mayo in potato salad if that is how it was made.
“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???????”
Nonsense !!!!!

You don’t put mayo on peanut butter unless there’s sliced banana in there
We Dutch people put mayo on our fries and snacks. Everyone eats it.
Oh and you are so right, Moracle Whip is NOT mayo.
Now this is probably blasphemy from a Mississippian, but my favorite barbecue is the clear vinegary Carolina barbecue.
Happened exactly like that in Washington DC to me a few years ago...My last time in a Starbucks...
Yeah but look at the replies
It’s like 2002 again
My wife actually travels with it if we go north....Tabasco is her other thing but it is everywhere now
You are right. Don’t get me started on the Miracle Whip crowd. Degenerates!
Oh boy, the mayo wars are almost as intense as east vs west for barbecue lol.
Yesterday’s cold Collards, Mayo, and Tabasco between two slices of your choice of breads. Ham or bacon is an option.
In my old age, mine seem to have died. I am much less adventurous about food than I was when was young. Also, my craving for the most sour, tart tastes I can find is dissipating. But I never had a sweet tooth and still don’t. The only “sweet” thing I like is salty caramel.
She’s a smart woman :) But you’re right, it’s getting easier to find. I take Frank’s Sauce with me, love that stuff. And Lea & Perrin, I could practically drink that stuff.
LOL! First thing I thought of.
I don’t do potlucks. There always seems to be somebody that puts raisins in something unnatural and wrong. I always have “plans” when there’s an office potluck, can’t take the chance.
It’s amazing, isn’t it?
I would have never imagined a thread on mayo would get this many replies.
I can hang with that but please don't put canned brown gravy and squeaky raw cheese curds on them that's just vomitous no matter what Frenchified name they call it, lol.
