Mayo, love or loathe?

@baubles I love Co Mayo too, it’s the only Mayo I do love! 😂

I thought this was going to be about Co Mayo which I love.

I do quite like mayonnaise but only occasionally and in small quantities.

I don’t like it in most sandwiches, where butter is IMO much nicer. Exception is the homemade egg and cress or lettuce sandwiches I often make if we’re going a long distance by car. But then I butter the bread too.

I’m happy with it in coleslaw or potato salad - as long as it’s only just enough to bind it, and not swimming in the stuff. Which is why I never buy coleslaw - I make it.

I absolutely adore it.

I eat mayo but there are other things added to meals which spoil them for me - too much salt, sweetcorn added to tuna, chilli, pickle and salad dressing. These are mostly things that upset my stomach. Other people, such as diabetics, have to be careful what they eat.
Sandwiches nowadays seem to mostly have several ingredients and often ones you like mixed with ones you don't like.
Why do Italian restaurants add chilli to so many pasta dishes?
Mollygo - I don't like barbecue sauce either.

I don't think you are being silly, mind you I am not a foodie.

I ordered, what on the menu appeared to be, a plain bacon sarnie the other day and it came oozing with brown sauce. I hadn't touched it as I could see the sauce oozing out of it there was so much of it. I sent it back and shortly after it was returned to me after some, but by no means all, the sauce had been scraped off. As I had bitten into it before realising, I had to pay.

Why can't these food outlets just listen or ask before serving
food to a paying customer.

Rant seconded!

I typed claggy not craggy!!

I love mayo but I, too, loathe barbecue sauce - revolting, craggy stuff.

No you’re not a freak. If you don’t like something, you don’t like it I feel the same way about barbecue sauce. I ordered a pasta dish in a French restaurant and it came drizzled all over with barbecue sauce. To be fair they did replace it.
