Mayo Mayo Mayo "I gave her everything she asked for -- mayonnaise, no mustard, onions, everything I could possibly do for this lady. Mayo, mayo, mayo, and it's still not good enough,"

  • Aaah! Why did this get posted twice? I hit the post button only once! Sorry.
  • Holy crap. Obviously, this wasn't just about mayo. Or is it????
  • I insist on mayo on my burgers. If anyone deprived me of it, I'd run them over in a trice. Or a car, even.
  • Ah, Languagehat, I've thought we were meant for each other for quite some time, but MAYO on BURGERS? No, no no! Do you also do mayo on pastrami? Please tell me you don't.
  • I don't understand putting mayo on fries. Is it some cultural thing from Qu
  • I'm totally about the mayo on burgers. And everyone knows that it's not mayo with fries - it's Ranch Dressing. Or at least it was when I still ate potatoes.
  • Mayo on fries is Dutch. (And very good) But Quebec has something far far more beautiful, which they have wonderfully shared with the rest of the country: poutine. God, I miss Canada. It's pronounced "pu-teen".
  • path, I am happy to inform you that I eat pastrami with mustard, as is right and proper. I learned about pastrami after moving to NYC, so I eat it according to the local mores; hamburgers go back into my distant past (an era from which light no longer reaches the 21st century), and I can't be held responsible for the condiments that were associated with them. I do actually have a friend who would never date someone who eats mayo at all, let alone on burgers, so I'm aware of the cultural divide here. We must all learn to somehow get along.
  • Mayo on burgers leads to nirvana. Mayo on freedom fries, (ah sweet easily indulged effortless pointless pugnacious patriotism) leads to re-incarnation. Very quickly. Sweet Sammy Sunshine, do you know how many calories are in those things?
  • I put mayo on my peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Mmmmmm.....
  • I don't know why mayo gets such a bad rap. I use a minimal amount on sandwiches, but I don't really know why. It is just that I always have, I guess. I agree that it has no place on a good pastrami though. Viva la freedom fries!
  • AH, good ol' freedom fries. Do they still exist?
  • The fries? Yes. The freedom? Eh.... Not so much.
