• Heh.
• Hoh.
• Hah.
• I think the bathtub idea was stolen from this video.
• Ceci n'est pas une clique.
• Clack
• Claque
• all this clique-ing and this claque-ing - does it show that something's lacking? geese are honking ducks are quacking across the moon long skeins are tracking winter's coming leaves are dying as these migrants now start flying
• Damned deserters!
• did someone say dessert?
• Mmmmmm. Flan.
• It's all about dessert with you, isn't it, Medusa? What about the broccoli, huh? You can't handle the broccoli!
• I'll see your broccoli and raise you a bowl of spinach salad, one medium artichoke and some asparagus. and THEN I'm gonna have me some chocolate cake :P
• Oh, day-ummm! Save some for me ... But I need some mayo with that artichoke and asparagus. Homemade, preferably.
• I'm a mayonnaise-hater d00d.
• Please don't tell me you're a Miracle Whip person ...
• Noooo (massive amounts of derision in voice) I am a Dijon Mustard person. mayonnaise and all its analogs are foul abominations!
• You have never tasted MY mayonnaise. (By which I mean actual mayonnaise, and not whatever disgusting thing you were probably thinking of)
• Aioli, it's all about aioli.
• You know, just yesterday Mrs. TheDog and I were in the market, and I asked her if she'd prefer that I put Miracle Whip in the cart, or mayo. She said it was up to me. Power!!! I chose mayo. Now, if you know me (and you do not) you would know that this is a paradigm shift. For years, I steadfastly preferred M. Whip over mayo. But something happened in the past year or two, I cannot say what, and the spell was broken. I am a mayo man now. I might change my mind if we're talking tuna or chicken salad. Fascinating stuff, right? And they say we don't have serious content on MoFi anymore.
• mr medusa makes home-made mayo, which I am sure is as good as home-made mayo gets, but I still won't eat it.
• There are several French brands of mayo that mix in Dijon mustard at about 2 part mayo: 1 part mustard.
• You can even get your mustardayonnaise mixed in a 1:1 ratio with your mayostard.
• I asked her if she'd prefer that I put Miracle Whip in the cart, or mayo. She said it was up to me. Ralph! You Dog, ya! Second Dear Leader's call for aioli.
• "ailoli" was in my crossword puzzle yesterday.
• roryk, IC: what a tragic waste of good mustard >:P
• Use mayo instead of butter when making a grilled cheese sandwich.
• Now that's just unnatural.
• *Tweeeee!* Okay Mr. K, that's over the line. I mean, I love mayo as much as the next person . . err . not Medusa, the one next to her . . but that's just weird. 5-yard penalty! Repeat grilled cheese!
• Jaffa Cakes and Spray Cream®!
• Both mayo and butter are just lard, just slightly different forms of lard. So it just gives a slightly different flavor to the sandwich. I love mayo less than the next person. I think it's pretty dang grody. I don't use it for anything else. But on grilled cheese, it's fucking awesome. I was introduced to the method a couple months ago. It sounded gross, but now I can't get enough of it. Try it, you'll thank me. (If you are one of those people who grill both inside and outside, don't. There's enough grease on the outside.)
• I don't know, I mean mayo-hating aside, why would anyone ever want to substitute anything for the delicious sweet creaminess that is butter???
• Both mayo and butter are just lard Sacre bleu, man! Have you no taste! (Especially if you've ever had artisanal butters or homemade mayo.)
• Oh, I do like a little bit of butter on my bread! -- A.A. Milne
• I don't know what artisanal butter is, but I like that the term contains two euphemisms for ass.
