I think you suck, that's my personal thought on mayo

These 2 opinions are all we need in this thread tbh

Thought I hated it all until fairly recently. Homemade mayo can be OK. Japanese Kewpi mayo is pretty good. Still, I rarely put it on anything by choice.

There are several sandwich shops I just don't go to because they only use mayo and mayo is disgusting. But I do like other mayo based things like potato salad and deviled eggs.

A decent mayonnaise is quite simple in the making. Like 6 Ingredients: 2 egg yolks 250 ml vegetable oil 2 tsp lemon juice salt & pepper ½ tsp mustard

Perfect with chips or for meat. I think it is birthing wrong with it, just a bit tricky on the temperature.

But luckily tastes are different. So, if you don’t like it, just don’t make it.

Four ingredients is enough.

One whole egg, one cup oil, one big pinch salt, one tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice. Stick blend and that's probably the best mayo you can have.

I find the mustard and pepper make it less versatile and separating the egg whites changes absolutely nothing.

Wait egg yolks? When I've made it, it was with egg whites.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You can do either. Kewpie Mayo uses the yolks

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Do they generally use either one or the other? Any use both?

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think just taste. I've never made it myself but Kewpie Mayo is very tasty

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The plant based kind is actually very good.

I generally don’t like it. If I get a sandwich made or something I’ll ask for no mayo. Most restaurant/chain mayo sucks. Heavy on the oil and other things that mess up a flavor I’m not keen on in the first place. There are some things that need it, like egg salad, and that’s fine. I don’t mind adulterated versions like chipotle mayo or sriracha mayo. However, if it’s a good mayo, it can really make a sandwich, especially if there are complementary ingredients like avocado.

I use it for tuna or egg salad, but that's it. I wish I could find something that works just as good but I actually like.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Very specifically only on a burger that has crummed white meat like chicken schnitzel. Otherwise it ruins everything it touches.

After hearing about Kewpie mayo for years I finally got some when I visited Japan and... it's alright. Not bad, not life changing, just alright. Maybe I've just always had good mayo so my standard has been too high.

Remoulade on the other hand, that's where it's at. Could drink that shit up with a straw

Freshly made mayo is nice. I haven't tried the other products people are mentioning here.
