I dont get why people love it so much, same with ketchup

Ill upvote that as I love me some mayo and conncotions there of. Not my top condiment but its almost always a welcome addition.

This is the unpopular opinion forum, so here goes: I think the same thing about mustard. :p

I don't like gobs of mayo, but I like it as a garnish for some things. Even as a dip for fries (another unpopular one probably). Can't beat a fresh tomato and mayo sandwich.

THE SMELL.

I love mayo, but I thank you for your service in providing a truly unpopular opinion.

This is a very strong reaction to the existence of mayo. 🤣

This seems less like an opinion and more like an excuse to rant about a pet peeve.

Luckily, food snobs can go fuck themselves, because nobody can force you to eat mayo no matter what kind it is, so you enjoy your mayo free life, and may you enjoy your food the way you like it :)

Take an egg yolk. Add half a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Teaspoon of olive oil. Mix. Then as you continue mixing vigorously, very slowly add some neutral oil, preferably peanut or sunflower but go with generic veg oil if it's all you have. Stop when it's not a liquid anymore.

This is mayo. What you get in stores and 95% of restaurants is not.

Yes I'm a food snob.

Sorry, I had to downvote because I completely agree with your position.

Its main use is keeping the greasy innards of a sandwich from making the bread soggy or as a binder to hold other ingredients together. It by itself as a sauce does kinda suck. I mean, it's nothing but eggs and oil.

That said if the only "mayo" you've ever had was Miracle Whip, I implore you to try an actual mayonnaise because Miracle Whip is just pure nasty.

Im weird in that I hate mayo, but I like a lot of foods that use mayo as an ingredient.. if I do have to eat something with just mayo in it it does make me gag tho

great way to stabilize eggs past their shelf life, though

and in some impoverished communities that is a big source of protein

Totally agree, mayo is gross.

Hey I found your favorite store.

The place was like a museum of mayonnaise. This being just at the height of the culte de la mayonnaise then sweeping Belgium, oversize exhibits of the ovoöleaginous emulsion were to be encountered at every hand. Heaps of Mayonnaise Grenache, surrounded by plates of smoked turkey and tongue, glowed redly as if from within, while with less, if any, reference to actual food it might have been there to modify, mountains of Chantilly mayonnaise, swept upward in gravity-impervious peaks insubstantial as cloud, along with towering masses of green mayonnaise, basins of boiled mayonnaise, mayonnaise baked into soufflés, not to mention a number of not entirely successful mayonnaises, under some obscure attainder, or on occasion passing as something else, dominated every corner.

Thank you sir/madam, this is a hill I too will die on. Fuck mayo and aioli.

I feel personally attacked.

I make it from scratch because it’s easy, cheap, delicious, versatile, and the store-bought stuff has no flavor. If you’ve never had a great homemade mayo, I can understand why you’d think you hate it.

Spread mayo on the outside of your grilled cheese before cooking and use no oil/butter/lard in the pan for the best grilled cheese sandwich ever.

I like savory mayo. Give me some of that sweet salad dressing that people WRONGLY call mayo and I'll throw the sandwich at you.

I mostly agree, but for some reason there are sauces/dips that are based in mayo that i actually like for some reason (Raising Canes sauce, russian dressing, etc). Mayo on its own is disgusting though.

I'm going to almost totally agree with you on this one.

In terms of cooking, it's a crutch mostly used by bad cooks who do not understand how to impart flavor.

I genuinely regularly forget that other people consider mayonnaise to be food. The result is that people ask me if there is anything I don't eat, I tell them the real foods I don't like, and then they serve me something with mayonnaise in it, and I'm surprised and confused why they would do that before I realise that to normies, this is acceptable.

Fine, more for me 👍

I like a good banana and mayonnaise sandwich every now and then.

Yeah, I was surprised when I realized Japan loved it so much. Them and my grandmother. I actually like it but in much smaller amounts.
