    Is mayo in the US something different from mayo in other places? I'm honestly asking as any time the topic comes up people react like it's disgusting. I feel like we're thinking of different things.

      It can probably include larger amounts of glue, lead paint and spider eggs than in Europe, whereas the European version has better odds of being full of bacteria that give you ultra-diarrhea.

      Anything from the US that is derived from some original is gross.

      Mayonnaise is indeed different. Lots of prepackaged stuff has HFCS for some reason

    Protip: make homemade mayonnaise, it's just egg whites, oil, and lemon, then you can season it to taste with stuff like dill or paprika.

      Pro-Protip: make homemade vegan mayonnaise, it's just unsweetened soy milk, oil, salt and vinegar, then you can season it to taste with stuff like cayenne or smoked paprika.

        Never heard it with just whites but if you want it to keep from breaking (de-emulsified) you can use yolks and a bit of mustard helps.

        Fun fact tho: Japanese kewpie mayo uses only the yolks and apple code vinegar to make it a sweeter flavor. Its my favorite

    My husband went to one of the Central Asian former USSR republics once, and he ate at a pizza restaurant where they use mayo instead of cheese.

      Patat met mayonaise is heavenly. Now putting ketchup on fries, that's nasty.

        Patat with ketchup and mayo is the best patat, as long as it's a spicy ketchup. Like, homemade curry ketchup with chilies in it n everything. The best chippies / patatkrams make it themselves. None of that bland shit that's just red sugar. The creamyness of the mayo needs to be pain relief for the curry ketchup. This is a perfect, harmonious patat. Chopped raw onions optional. Saté or yoppiesaus (which is just ketchup, mayo and onions put through a blender, cmv) is nice once in a while, but i always keep coming back to the original.

        Also, the patat needs to be thicc cut. None of the McDonald's freedom fry nonsense. I hope i don't have to explain double frying to any of you guys, because single-fried fries are just a soggy mess and a crime against humanity.
