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 friends 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, maam! 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 prefer Miracle Whip, but I’ll eat mayonnaise.
Mayo is ok but Miracle Whip has the ZIP!
Mayo is vile.
It is revolting. I’ve been in a few situations where people put it on a sandwich as if it were as necessary as the bread itself.
I’d be less put out if they walked into my closet and wore my shirts.
yes, indeed. i eat all sandwiches plain. and can barely make potato salad!!
People put too much on. You just need a light spread of mayo to enhance a sandwich. Duke’s mayo is the absolute best, but I can’t get it that easy up here in Yankee-land:)
Hellmann’s or Burman’s mayo for me. Never been a Miracle Whip fan.
Count me in the same camp. Mayonnaise makes me want to vomit.
I like my sandwiches with just the meat and cheese. Maybe some lettuce and bacon.
I can’t stand Miracle Whip.
Hellman’s!............................
Me neither! It’s gross!......................
I can one-up you: I hate both Mayo AND cheese! They both kill the taste of whatever they’re on.
I have always found mayo to be foul... and that was long before I found out what it is...
Basically oil and egg whites.... might as well just chug oil...
But some folks love it...
And some folks love Ketchup on eggs...
World is full of weirdos
All I can say to all y’all is: GOOD! More for me!
I love Mayo. The people in the article look like a bunch of betas.
Im with you, brother! Beside its disgusting taste and greasy mouth feel, I have nothing against mayo. Yet youre treated
Like a space alien if you order a sandwich without it, and get it anyway half the time. Love potato salad but is got to be really light on the mayo. Ill use a tiny amount plus sour cream when I make potato salad.
Guilty as charged.
I love it on a burger with Worchestershire sauce- adds zip and protects the bread.
Regular mayo doesn’t really have flavor so it doesn’t do anything other than keep the Worchestershire sauce and the tomatoes and pickles from making the bread soggy.
