Mayo, love or loathe?

Why don’t places serve sauces of any sort including mayo in a small pot on the side? It would solve all these issues.

Shop bought sandwiches are by and large pretty awful with or without mayo. I remember when I was much younger I would go the bakers nearest to my workplace and ask for whatever I wanted on a sandwich, I believe some still do this, and they would take an oven bottom - a large freshly baked bap - butter it and put the filling inside, no mayo, it wasn’t a option back then. Was delicious. And when we visited New York several years ago, wherever we went for lunch sandwiches would be made freshly for you with loads of choices of bread, sadly they would use mayo rather than butter but am sure the sandwiches were better than the awful shop bought ones on offer over here.

I love mayonnaise, but I only buy the extra light version from Aldi. It’s the only sauce I use.

#Babs03. I obviously eat in the wrong places as I can’t remember ever having mayonnaise slathered on my food .

I wish it was routinely for sale in small quantities that are less likely to 'go off' in the fridge. I imagine large sachet packaging would do and not add a lot to the cost.

Is it just me, or is mayo much more salty these days?

I like mayonnaise, but chilli being tossed into everything from shepherd's pie to fishcakes is a pet peeve of mine

I loathe tomato ketchup! Much to my grandchildren’s amusement as they would like to load it onto everything they eat!

My grumble is unseasoned sandwiches. If I was making sandwiches at home say egg mayo with cress ( one favourite) the egg mayo would be lightly seasoned with salt and black pepper. I know they have to appeal to the masses and for that reason I think they are largely inferior and some not worth the money.
I do though love M&S Wensleydale and carrot chutney 😋

Yes, bought egg sandwiches could nearly always do with a bit of S&P.

Love ❤
I love mayonnaise on chips and certainly on fish and chips .
I find salad cream too sweet .
