An Angry Bug posted:I guess I just don't understand the appeal. The way people use mayo seems to be more about covering up other flavors that complementing them. Remember the color wheel from kindergarden? Imagine that but with tastes and textures, so instead of red blue green etc you'd have salty, fatty, acidic, herbal etc. Sometimes you need a little of something fatty to compliment something else.

Paladinus posted:E: re mayonnaise. In post-Soviet countries people often cook meat with it. They call it a la Francaise, even though the recipe has nothing to do with France. In most cases it's literally 50% mayo 50% meat. Optionally, there can be a tomato slice and some cheese. Yeah, I was watching a show that showcases ordinary people living in foreign countries, and I was shocked at their love of mayo. The supermarket aisles were insane. They had the most gigantic jars of it, and there were so many kinds. Like imagine the cereal aisle in a US store, but then replace that with mayo. Apparently Russians eat about 5.1kg/year per capita while the US is at about 1.9kg/year per capita. https://ladyofthecakes.wordpress.com/2013/09/06/who-eats-the-most-mayonnaise-ketchup-mustard/ Also, Americans don't like mayo because American mayo is super lovely. Mayo should have a loving flavor of its own, and it shouldn't be filled with sugar. There's good mayo in the world. Very little of it is in the US, though, and it's to the point where you basically can't trust an American that says, "I don't like mayo." They basically have never actually tried mayo, and when I have them try a "horseradish sauce" with some french fries they end up liking it nearly every time.

I always do double takes when Americans talk about their store-bought foods. Mayo where I get it is tangy-sour and goes great/amazing with Tuna. I'd imagine it's closer to the real thing than it's american brethren, but still doesnt come close. I'm just amazed at how many perfectly innocuous foods I take for granted around me are just so completely different in America for some strange reason. Like Hershey choc being essentially a barf-bar.

Apparently Russians eat about 5.1kg/year per capita while the US is at about 1.9kg/year per capita. Mayo goes in every Russian salad that doesn't go with sunflower/olive oil or sour cream. I never tried American mayonnaise, but Russian mayo has a very pronounced taste of eggs, olive and vinegar, well, like it's supposed to, I guess. It's just a bit punchier than your regular home made stuff. Can't say it's too bad in moderation.  This is another thing Eastern Europeans love to do with salads. This hedgehog is made of surimi, sweet corn, eggs, onions, potatoes, processed cheese, about half a pound of mayonnaise and bacon crisps on top.

Storebought mayo isn't huge here in Australia. A little bit here and there in various recipes that need the sweetness as well as the tanginess etc is all I've ever seen my family do. A little layer of it on a chicken sandwich is a damned helpful thing if the chicken is dry, etc.

I avoided mayo entirely until I lived in Canada for a while and it was unavoidable, so I learned to tolerate it. Thin spreads are great. Thick globs can gently caress right off. I also learned of the pure heaven that is smothering potato wedges in dressing and gravy. No one I know in America understands the pure deliciousness of french fries and gravy. Screw ketchup. gently caress ranch. Gravy is the new God. Ranch I will hate until the day I die. That poo poo is worthless.

nucleicmaxid posted:Mashed potato sandwiches are great. I ordered incorrectly at a burger place once and got a burger covered in garlic mashed potatoes and corned beef. It was awful. The worst burger I ever had that I ordered on purpose out of curiosity was a burger that had two peanut butter long johns as buns and was covered in bacon. I gave up after a handful of bites and just ate the burger and bacon part without the long johns. They seriously must have just had an rear end load of PB long johns left over from something cause it did not make sense or fit together taste wise even remotely.

The mayo's the only thing that really makes it inedible, though. A chilean "completo italiano", or hot-dog with the aforementioned ingredients. Sandwiches made with the same ingredients but with meat instead of a hot dog are extremely popular around here. (And they are delicious, and my lunch today  )

You're saying that they don't hate mayo if you give them something else that just happens to share ingredients and you know isn't mayo. If your dish needs something to balance it out, throwing on a glob of intentionally congealed fat on top isn't the way to do it. I don't usually go for horseradish sauce anyways because most of the time it's basically just mayo that passed near horseradish. I prefer to make my own since you really only need something to make the horseradish spread easily. Fat is not a taste it's just supposed to improve texture on dryer dishes and can make your tastebuds less effective from overuse.

I prefer to make my own since you really only need something to make the horseradish spread easily. I'm saying that they don't hate mayo if I give them much better quality mayo and don't bother to tell them it's mayo. The second I call a thing mayo, they make strange faces and say, "I dunno, I don't like mayo." It's like if you bought an American a candy called "Smarties." They might say, "I don't like smarties." but you probably can't trust their opinion on it because, turns out, they're referring to the chalky horrible dry candies while you're talking about a chocolate candy more similar to M&M's. Americans and mayo are like that. Americans say they don't like mayo. The truth is they don't like what Americans generally refer to as mayo, but that has no bearing on whether or not they actually like real mayonnaise or much better mayonnaise. Every time I give an "I don't like mayo" person some good mayo with real flavor, without telling them it's mayo first, they always say, "this is pretty alright." rodbeard posted:Fat is not a taste it's just supposed to improve texture on dryer dishes and can make your tastebuds less effective from overuse. My point was that mayo should have some kind of flavor, and that the flavorless American kind might as well not even be called mayo. So I'm not sure what the hell you mean by "Fat is not a taste." and "I don't need a glob of congealed fat!" I'm not defending American mayo. I think American mayo is poo poo too, and real mayonnaise or better mayonnaise from other countries is actually more than just fat. Your objection to mayo here as being "just congealed fat," is also really silly since I'm pretty sure you're fine with a cheeseburger. Cheese is also basically just a bunch of fat too, but people seem to like it alright. ErIog has a new favorite as of 06:50 on Jan 20, 2015 |

The first and second burgers i posted about were different meals at different places but they probably wouldn't have been much worse if it'd all been combined, the one with the eclair/longjohns was worse though in a "these foods shouldn't even pretend to go together" way, like eating poptarts with ketchup or a steak with marshmallows. I ordered it cause it was a monthly special and I figured they somehow knew what they were doing but no, it was like letting a 5 year old design a burger.
