I'm german and this phrase is utterly bs. Tbh, every German You will tell this will treat You like you're a retard.

What would be the proper phrasing for this question?

E.g.: Was liebst du mehr, Mayonnaise oder mich?

What do You like better, Mayonnaise or me?

The point is, it's highly improper to not love a person in favor of a thing. Instead You can lighten it up a bit by just asking for what they like better.

The initial question is only askable among very close friends (Irony/Saracasm), usually not even for couples and definitely not for love interests or lose contacts.
