Meet The People Who Hate Mayo More Than Anyone

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.

Blue Plate mayonnaise? Well, there’s the problem; if it had been Hellmann’s (Best Foods), everything would have been ok!
Actually, it depends on the food I’m eating it with; I prefer Miracle Whip for some things, since mayo is so bland, but I use both, when I make my “famous” potato salad.

I don’t mind it in chicken salad, etc but on a sandwich - no no no. However Im most intrigued why someone angrily chased a 5 year old away with a broom, for requesting a peanut butter sandwich.

[Army Air Corps]

That’s my preference.

Fussy eaters are a sign of immaturity.

Most people get past the, “I don’t want to eat tthhhhaaatttt!”, by the time they’re 10.

When I was dating, it was the first sign I looked for. Go out to eat and an immature girl will always tell you all the things she doesn’t eat.

Burman’s is close to Hellmann’s, to me. Kraft mayonnaise is nasty, but their miracle whip is good.

[JimRed]

You just need a light spread of mayo to enhance a sandwich.

Tell that to Mrs. JimRed. If there's too little mayo she calls it a "stepmother sandwich"! I like to mix a little horseradish in the mayo to go with chicken, turkey or meat, and add some celery salt with tuna. But most coleslaw and potato salad has way too much mayo for my taste.

[Augie]

People that hate mayonnaise put pineapple on pizza and like it.

That’s messed up...

[Red Badger]

I can do without mustard.
I can do without ketchup.
I can do without relish.
I can’t do without HELLMAN’S!..........

[Flaming Conservative]

Mayo is always made with whole eggs.

Ping to North Cackalacky friends...

DUKE'S is the Emperor of Mayonnaise. As a Southerner, I am a little suspicious of anyone who says they prefer Miracle Whip.

---

“All Carolina folk are crazy for mayonnaise, mayonnaise is as ambrosia to them, the food of their tarheeled gods. Mayonnaise comforts them, causes the vowels to slide more musically along their slow tongues, appeasing their grease-conditioned taste buds while transporting those buds to a plane higher than lard could ever hope to fly. Yellow as summer sunlight, soft as young thighs, smooth as a Baptist preacher’s rant, falsely innocent as a magician's handkerchief, mayonnaise will cloak a lettuce leaf, some shreds of cabbage, a few hunks of cold potato in the simplest splendor, recycling their dull character, making them lively and attractive again, granting them the capacity to delight the gullet if not the heart.”

Obviously you have never tried BANANAS and MAYONNAISE Sandwiches!.................

[BfloGuy]

I eat mayonnaise by the spoonful right out of the jar.

Mmmm. And no carbs, either!

Anybody who is against mayonnaise is a communist and should be locked up in Guantanamo.

I grew up eating Mayonnaise Sandwiches.

My Mother always remembered life during the Depression. They made their own Mayonnaise and bought day old bread.

Her Mother was feeding five Kids and it filled their Stomachs when you couldn’t afford to put any Meat between the two slices of Bread.

To this day Mayonnaise is the first ingredient on any Sandwich I eat. It was Hellmans when I was a Kid in New York and now it’s Best Foods living in CA.

[discostu]

Ooooh me. Nasty crap. Don’t know why it’s on sandwiches all the time. Don’t like fake mayo either, just gross all the way around.

[Sans-Culotte]

Fussy eaters are a sign of immaturity.

I agree. there were lots of things I didn't like to eat when I was a kid. I hated butter on my biscuits, didn't like mayonnaise,, could not stand cooked onions, broccoli or anything cabbage-like. Now I like all those things. I grew out of my distaste. I guess our palettes get more mature as we grow up. Heck, I didn't like the first beer I drank.

[Jamestown1630]

Miracle Whip is too sweet, too me.

With this line, I thought it was a spoof UNTIL I saw HuffPost, then I realized it was a serious subject.

If & when I go for the ‘White Goo’ it is is DUKE’S

[Lazamataz]

I can’t stand Miracle Whip.

I rather enjoy it when she uses it on me.
