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.

I will not touch ketchup either, except with my spicy meatloaf and it has to be one of those snobby fancy ketchups with actual taste and not a sugary vinegar dyed red.
Nothing like a BLT (Bacon well done) with extra Mayo. YUUUUMMMMMY...
Yes, the bacon must be well done. Mmmmm.
It is hilarious! Useful for replying to all sorts of objectionable comments, too.
Well, then, this old lady must be immature. I really do try not to be fussy, but I enjoy my food best, when it tastes like I expect it to taste. I’d starve to death if I were a world traveler. My nephew, (Oorah!) will eat ANYTHING! He’ll go out of his way to eat weird stuff. He’s probably eaten bugs, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ate a mouse, just for the experience. Maybe Marines are sent out in the field, during training, expected to eat whatever they can dig up (literally); I don’t know. But I have a touchy gag reflex, so...uh uh!
I always liked Hellmanns mayo, but I remember after moving to the south there were different brands and it turned me off mayo. Some were literally like an oily lard consistency with a strong vinegar taste. NASTY. I can still eat Hellmanns but I usually order food without any mayo. I prefer spicy or dijon mustard as my condiment of choice.

It’s a wonder we’re still Married.
Nothing better than a BLT spread with Hellman’s.
I thought I hated mayo until I was 18 or so. Went to a party where they had 6’ La Spadas’ subs. I didn’t want to be weird, so I took a bite of a slice, even though it had the hated mayo on it. OMG! That was delicious!
Told my folks and they were very happy that I had come to embrace mayo. Mom made me a roast beef sandwich with “mayo” soon after. I took a big bite and gagged. Spitting it out I asked “what the heck was that?”
Mom held up a jar of Miracle Whip and said “Mayonnaise.”
My whole life I had thought I hated mayo when I really hated Miracle Whip.
They oughta be a law again that.
“Nothing better than a BLT spread with Hellman’s.”
I agree with that,but with no lettuce-—I hate all leafy greens.

Mayo is vile. Miracle Whip is worse. Mustard on everything.
Yes! I thought it was brilliant.

Even lobster salad?

People that hate mayonnaise put pineapple on pizza and like it.
That’s messed up...
Should be a Hanging offense.
Unfortunately, the whole Family does the same thing.
Her Brother and a Bottle of Catsup get together and end up having a Zen experience.
“My Wife puts Catsup on Hot Dogs. It’s a wonder we’re still Married.”
About the only people that don’t are from Chicago, and who wants to be married to one of those liberals??
Exactly. I always wondered how people could eat Miracle Whip. When I had some tuna salad when I was younger I loved it with Hellmanns but if Miracle Whip was used, it was inedible. It’s almost like they make it with 50% mayo and 50% vinegar. Nasty stuff. I love vinegar and even apple cider vinegar but not mixed with mayo. I don’t care for Tobasco sauce with all the vinegar in it, but I love those super fiery ghost pepper type sauces without it or where it isn’t the main ingredient. I say that as someone who actually likes vinegar on certain things like french fries or in salads.
