    You can love mayo, you can hate Mayo. Both are totally acceptable.

    If you consider miracle whip to be good however…that is a crime that must be punished.

        *Mayonnaise is made of oil, eggs, and vinegar (or lemon juice).

        *Miracle Whip is made from water, soybean oil, high-fructose corn syrup, vinegar, modified corn starch, eggs, salt, natural flavor, mustard flour, potassium sorbate, spice, and dried garlic.

        Changed the ingredients because the source said sugar and not corn syrup. Miracle whip is basically a science experiment to make super cheap mayo. It’s like comparing cheddar cheese to American cheeze. One just isnt right.

            Miracle Whip is like a sweeter mayo. Unless you were born and raised with it, then you’ll likely hate it.

            Mayonnaise can be made simply by emulsifying oil into egg yolks. It’s super easy to make if you want, and it’s easy to modify by adding spices or seasonings. You don’t eat it by itself, but it’s fantastic for use in baking, mashed potatoes, sandwiches, sauces, and dips.

            Mayo is primarily an ingredient for use on something else. You would never eat flour by itself, just like you’d never eat straight mayo by itself.

    I like it on sandwiches, but need only a LITTLE bit. It’s very easy to have too much and then have a slimy sandwich

    Glad to see. I’m not the only one.

    You take nasty ass uncooked eggs, Mix them up with some oil and a splash of vinegar, lemon juice and mustard. How does that not sound appetizing?

    • Some dick head in 18 Dickety 4 or whenever they invented that shit probably

    Get the fuck out of my life Mayo, and fuck your cousin aioli trying to sneak into my sandwiches as well.

    Thought I hated it all until fairly recently. Homemade mayo can be OK. Japanese Kewpi mayo is pretty good. Still, I rarely put it on anything by choice.

    Normal mayo (like Hellmann’s or Heinz) is fine and all, but goddamn Kewpie mayo is the shit. It’s easily top 3 readymade condiments in our fridge; we’ve always got a bottle on the go!

      I have been trying to find a reason to get it and try it. You are that reason.

    On some level I like it but I mostly hate it.

    A microscopically thin layer on a few select sandwiches is appropriate and delicious to me.

    Anything more than a teaspoon and it becomes overwhelming and cloying.

    I really think for the most part, mayonnaise has become a crutch for bad cooks. You really do not need to just add essentially pure fat to make food taste good, that’s not necessary unless you are lazy and cheap.

    I find eating excess amounts of fat and oil to be disgusting and nauseating.

    I see a few responses on here about “miracle whip”. For those ignoramuses amongst us, what is this thing?

      It’s so much better than mayo, because a little hit of lemon juice giving it some flavor, some tartness, instead of the congealed snot of mayonnaise

    There’s bad mayonnaise out there, like a lot of bad. I prefer to put it on my fries. It’s very delicious.

      Arctic Circle in Utah gave out fry sauce (aka fancy sauce). It’s just mayo and ketchup, but it was so popular all of the local chains started providing it as well (McDonald’s, Wendy’s, 5 guys). The better ones generally splash a bit of BBQ as well.

    I generally don’t like it. If I get a sandwich made or something I’ll ask for no mayo. Most restaurant/chain mayo sucks. Heavy on the oil and other things that mess up a flavor I’m not keen on in the first place. There are some things that need it, like egg salad, and that’s fine. I don’t mind adulterated versions like chipotle mayo or sriracha mayo. However, if it’s a good mayo, it can really make a sandwich, especially if there are complementary ingredients like avocado.
