The inexorable rise of identity condiments has led to hard times for the most American of foodstuffs. And that’s a shame.

Along about a decade ago, though, I began to notice I was toting home as much of my offerings as I’d concocted. My contributions were being overlooked — or shunned. Why should this be? Mom’s extraordinary potato salad — fragrant with dill, spiced by celery seed — went untouched on the picnic table. So did her macaroni salad, and her chicken salad, and her deviled eggs. … When I carted home a good three pounds of painstakingly prepared Waldorf salad — all that peeling and coring and slicing! — I was forced to face facts: The family’s tastes had changed. Or, rather, our family had changed. Oldsters were dying off, and the young ’uns taking our places in the paper-plate line were different somehow.
I racked my brain for the source of this generational disconnect. And then, one holiday weekend, while surveying the condiments set out at a family burger bash, I found it. On offer were four different kinds of mustard, three ketchups (one made from, I kid you not, bananas), seven sorts of salsa, kimchi, wasabi, relishes of every ilk and hue …
What was missing, though, was the common foundation of all Mom’s picnic foods: mayonnaise. While I wasn’t watching, mayo’s day had come and gone. It’s too basic for contemporary tastes — pale and insipid and not nearly exotic enough for our era of globalization. Good ol’ mayo has become the Taylor Swift of condiments.

It’s badically mayonessa (Spanish mayo) and yes it’s much better. That’s what always knew as mayo childhood till - well still. But, I like Hellmans on my turkey sandwiches.
Leftover meatloaf, cold, on fresh white bread. Any kind of mustard, but spicy brown is nice.
Now, leftover turkey offers many possibilities...leftover turkey sandwiches are the best part of Thanksgiving dinner - especially if you’re the one who slaved over the meal :-)
Denied sir.
(this is an endless playful argument between me and the wife)
I'm not a fan or a non-fan, but her 2018 tour seems not to be a complete disaster.
The first seven shows of the tour grossed $54 million with 390,000 tickets sold, leading Swift to the top of Billboard's Hot Tours chart in June 2018.[24] She performed to sold out crowds of 59,157 in Glendale and 107,550 in Santa Clara (over two nights), grossing $7.21 million and $14 million respectively, while the Pasadena shows combined for a gross of nearly $16.3 million and Seattle accounted more than $8.6 million.[24][25][26] The concerts in Louisville and Columbus, reported in July 2018, grossed $11.5 million with around 115,000 tickets sold, with the latter city having the highest gross and most tickets sold, with approximately 63,000 tickets and $6.6 million. These concerts led the singer once again to the top of Hot Tours chart.[27]
She's getting by.
But just a little dog vomit.
That’s close to an egg Mcmuffin- we make them at home, and I do put mayo on mine. Even if we get them from McD’s. They make these little microwave cooking dishes for egg McMuffins, and homemade are better than bought.
ever think the recipe has changed more recently? some changes made in early 2000’s but company says it’s still basically same ingredients but we know most compamies lie and do change things to keep up profits. And whatever is unhealthy in it takes time to show up. I’d expect to see problems in kids with their little growing bodies sooner then older folks or adults.
When I PCS'ed overseas to the Azores, the first words I learned in Portuguese were "não cebola."
I will never persecute you for digging soybean oil mayo, either. However, I feel it's only neighborly to warn you that soybean oil does sometimes do weird things to a person. It can affect a man's prostate, and, depending on which study you believe, the soy-beaners or the meat-eaters, it is said by some to have a subtle feminizing effect on men. B.O. was a big soy-beaner, and look at him...
BLT needs mayo too.
Get real, your 380ACP Walther's {007 in Stainless} will work, gee's everybody goes overboard for the Mayo. Wink Wink. Hopefully I don't need to put the /s in this, oh wait, I did. :-)
Southern product. Though some say it’s still Hellman’s.
I always keep available a bottle of ranch dressing and another of blue cheese dressing, both of which are low in sugar content - 2g or less per serving - and use these for sandwiches, garnishing, squirt a dab over any sandwich or salad I make. It doesn’t talk back to me, grease-wise.
Horseradish roots and leaves are very nutritious, so I try to eat as much as I can, adding horseradish sauce to shrimp dip and tuna salad, and all kinds of salads and sandwiches.
For most of the summer when I was able to find fresh roots from the stores, if you leave the root in the plastic bag, sprouts come off the root that should grow in the garden, but I didn’t get any to grow this year yet.
She's white. That makes her evil.
She doesn't engage in perverted genital stimulation with other wymynz. Therefore she has no redeeming characteristics.
I don’t mind mayonnaise based dishes but I have to add some vinegar or citrus to it for tang. Ranch dressing for example squeeze me some lime juice and voila. What’s a tuna or chicken salad sandwich or BLT without the mayo? Just add me in some tang.
But popcorn in corn oil is pretty good.
Mexican limon mayo is tasty... too bad vitamin C is a poison for me
Filipinos put mayonnaise on hotdogs. (And make ketchup out of bananas -—probably not the sweet kind, though).
TexMex Aoli
