Hi,

Mayo used to make me gag, too.

When I was a kid, I used to find jars of mayo in our garage pantry. I'd take the jar out behind the garage and just sit there eating it with a big spoon ! This went on for quite a while until one day it just hit me that I no longer liked mayo and even the thought of it turned my stomach . It's just been in the past 10 years or so that I like it in some sandwiches, but it has to be Best Foods or homemade mayo. Hate Miracle Whip BTW - but to each his own .

BTW, in my mayo feasting days, I'd eat what I could and put the jar back in the garage panty for the next time. It's a wonder I never got food poisoning. My parents must have known what I was doing, but no one ever said anything to me about it. Sort of odd, now that I think about it......

You can no more get food poisoning from Mayo left out than you can eating a jar of pickles or ketchup left out.
Mayonnaise isn't processed in any way and the seal on the jar is just there to protect it from tampering.

I just want to clarify my above statement.
If anyone wants just google Mayonnaise Myth.

I had a thread here on the subject saw it yesterday but now I cant find it.
I think the deal is that I can only search back 5 pages.

I finally found out why all the fast food joints put mayo on their burgers and sammiches. Since it is essentially an oil suspension mayo is waterproof, and protects the (often cheap) bread from dissolving due to the liquids in the sammich contents. Good enough reason for me. I no longer ask them to "hold the mayo".

Got the bacon....spotted a tiny jar of Hellman's in the back of a pantry shelf. Disgusting. It separated and the white is hard. (dated 2012). I don't use much mayo

Just tried to make some with same spice as jared...(watched y-tube 'how its made')
I know how to make my own but don't have eggs. Not about to go back out to a grocery...busy in the yard.
Used plain greek yogurt, some fetta, lemon, ac vinegar, some spice...paprika, mustard powder, sriracha, drizzle oil in a small cuisinart...disgusting.
Usually good at putting sauces together. Looks like an OrangeJulius and tastes like liquid orange jello...oh well.
I'll use avocado. Got that.

Made a german style potato salad last night as a trial for the up-coming 4th weekend.
Fantastic. Sautéed slivers of leek, shallot, garlic, etc. Added chopped celery and olives.
Tossed in a mustard vinaigrette. Might use toasted pecans and diced red pepper next week...chopped cilantro garnish.

When I was 16 and worked at Wendy's, my training video about how to put toppings on a burger was a ridiculous music video with the chorus White, Red...AND GREEN! White, Red....AND GREEN! It went on and on.

Mayo was the first white, then ketchup on the other bun half, and then lettuce, I think, followed by onion, tomato, and pickles.

I count one yes one person in all ,my life that made a burger the way or better than it looked in the pictuer.
It was a teenage boy in Austin that worked at Burger King.
If he would have been a young man not in high school I would have hired him on the spot and trained him in our work.

The condiments were spread evenly across the bun everything was placed nice and neatly and it wasn't mashed down.

I use a light spreading of ranch dressing on BLT's. But globs of it on salad, no way! I want to thank everyone for your recipes and tips. So now I can have my cake, er, potato salad and coleslaw, and eat it too! Sans mayo of course!

Thanks! But why is the dressing boiled? Why not mix it and pour it on and mix again?

Boiling will drive off some of the acidity of the vinegar, ensure that the salt and sugar (especially) is dissolved, and soften the cabbage and onion a little.

Try it.


BTW, I'd like to hear more about the kitties that you are Mom of...

Oh, I see. I wondered about heating the mixture. Thanks. Four of them are rabbits, two are cats. They're all rescues. My family!
It's nice of you to ask.

Deborah, have you ever thought about moving away from Cali? A Place where it is never hot?
