Mayonnaise

[SubZeroCat]

I love mayo but don't like the fact that a TEASPOON has 115 calories

Excellent

My French housemate is a butter-mayonnaise-cream-duck fat-and-pate kind of guy (i.e. he eats all this rich stuff like there's no tomorrow as well as large portions at dinner time etc) and he hasn't an inch of fat on him.

I think he's an alien.

BTW Sainsbury's French Mayo is faaar nicer than Hellman's.

So you're saying hatred of mayonnaise is a sign of maturity?

Cool.

I mix it with dijon mustard and pile it onto emmenthal cheese sandwiches - yummy!

Or mix it with Dave's Insanity Sauce for an extra hoppin' dip for chips.

Can't think of the last time I ate mayonnaise on its own.

Rather suspect that nothing can go yellow with that spicy Dave's sauce mixed in...

I have a story about "daves insanity sauce"

A few years ago I was working up scotland and I managed to get a room in a shared house with a few other contractors, one night old dave is making a sarney and he shouts through to me " hey, snadge is it okay if I use some of your red sauce on my corned dog sarnie?"

"help yerself mate" was my reply.

liberal dashing later.....


my did we kill ourselves at the picture of old dave with mouth under cold tap and his false teeth on the side almost molten

I go through phases with the stuff but at the moment im loving it.You can get some really nice mayo in Spain that is a bit more olive oily and less eggy,but it's tasty as hell in a sandwich.

i don't eat mayo a lot though,only off other people's chips.

It's foul stuff <shakes fist at France>

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

I love it. It is one of the Godly Foods...

FACT! With chips! Yum!

... Colour (Titanium Dioxide)...

That's not a colour, that's an extract from the periodic table!

I can't imagine that full-fat Hellmans is any less crammed with artificial crap though.

I like to think of it as being like coke compared with diet coke. Neither is healthy, it's just that one has less sugar and more e numbers. What's the difference?

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I don't know how the appropriately named Hellmans can get away with calling their gloop Real Mayonnaise. It is patently not real mayonnaise because it is not made with olive oil.

Sometimes when I can be bothered and I have some Tarragon vinegar about the place along with some really good extra virgin olive oil and an egg, then I will make mayonnaise. It is gorgeous and addictive. That stuff that Hellmans make is just a convenient second-best substitute, only marginally better than good old throat burning salad cream.

On chips, salad cream is probably better because it tastes mostly of vinegar. Chips drizzled with olive oil are good too.

Organic mayo smells like salad cream, it's weird. Mayo is lush though.

Important!!

Listen up mayonnaise lovers - Benedicta mayonnaise (the best ever, goes amazingly well with cold chicken) is back on sale at Sainsbury's Streatham Common store, yay!!

A 470g jar costs only 74p! I bought two

Cheap Satan spunk!!!

hmmmmm, yum.

Actually this isn't bright white Hellman's style flavourless gloop. This is creamy yellow slightly mustardy French mayonnaise....mmmh*

*that sounded like an M&S ad

Anyway, piss off

 

[Pieface]

I must try this Benedicta. I take it it is unsporting to combine it with ketchup to make MARIE ROSE SAUCE - one of the other Godly Foods in my opinion.

I have such 70s taste

<eats black forest gateau>

 

[ChrisFilter]

Benedicta's just decent French mayonaisse.. bog standard Amora french mayo is just as good imho!

 

[PacificOcean]

Maybe it's my jaded pallete, but I prefer Hellmanns to the proper mayo that you get from Waitrose or M&S.

Mayo is such a guilty pleasure anyway, that it should be crammed full of hundreds of E numbers - eating something that is 90% fat, who cares about the odd E number?

 

[Pieface]

Exactly - mix it up with ketchup, prawns and paprika and get all dizzy on it

I love doing that so I'll join your 70s taste club. It's great with chips. Mmh.

Chris - you can't get Amora in this country (not as far as I know) so it's normal to get excited about mayo that isn't white gloop.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Ah, fair play.
