Mayonaise

[Bobbybirdtree]

Great new editorial Az. I changed my avvy in tribute to it!

[Ozero]

yup! that was great! I was seeing it all in my head.. very vivid descriptions... I DO want the dvd.

The mayo thing is odd, huh? I've heard other stories about this great sauce they use in japan, that ended up being mayo...

one such incident happened here in my house, thanks to the japanese student living here, and a care package from home.



Mayo.



ick.

Mayo - I never ate as a kid. My wife loves the stuff. It's her one fault. Ah well. - Sparky

I'll never think of mayo the same after watching Undercover Brother. Besides, Miracle Whip is ten times as good.

I <3 mayo!

If you ever come to Japan, I'll treat you to a shrimp and mayonnaise pizza, or maybe a potato, egg, and mayo pizza. You can eat all of it.

At first I was appalled by the idea, but after thinking of each flavor and how it would come into play, it sounds kind of good! To bad it's so unhealthy. -_-;;

Hunter: What? America! No! I want to go to Nara! I must find Buddha. Who are you?
Girl: I'm not Buddha. I'm jiyu no megane. *she turns around the paper in her hand, which reads "Jiyu no Megami" - this means "The Statue of Liberty" in Japanese*

THE GLASSES OF LIBERTY!

Yeah, I was kind of grossed out by how much Mayo the Japanese put on stuff. It really is like they think it's a sauce. My friend bought some type of chicken on top of rice dish in the lunch room, and there were huge squirts of mayo on it. Japanese are healthy my foot.

As a Dutchman i can say i'm kind of a Mayonaise connaiseur... (remember Pulp Fiction? It's all true!) So i'm kind of curious how Japanese mayo tastes. Is it creamy or is it sour like french Mayo (wich is actually more a salad dressing)

[atomiton]

That editorial was fantastic! Skits of such hilarity are pretty common in other countries too. When I was in school, it was the same.

Just goes to show that kids are kids wherever they are.

Stop picking on us French (oops wasn't that the case this time?) .

I'm pretty upset by this thread. Japanese mayonaise is NOT like French mayonaise at all (which until proven overwise is still a French word, so I dispute the Dutch's right to claim it as their own. Since when did anyone care for the Dutch opinion on cuisine anyway? ). The only thing more unlike French mayo than the Japanese one is American mayonaise. Sends shudders down my spine just to write about it.

Anyway, point is, if you hate Japanese or American mayo, don't blame mayonaise: it rocks. That goey stuff they call mayo ain't nothing like the real stuff.

That said, you don't have to drench your food in a pound of mayo and/or ketchup like the Japanese do. It's simply gross.

I also prefer Miracle Whip. It's tangy. Just like the commercial says.

Also, after working at Burger King for a summer, and slathering on that 2 toned crap onto burgers because the top would dry...and the stuff would sit pretty much at room temperature all day, I decided it was pretty gross.

Pertaining to the shrimp and mayo pizza, if you go to eat Dim Sum (drink tea in Chinese) then you can get shrimp and miracle whip spring rolls. Tasty =D I'd eat that pizza if I replaced mayo with Miracle Whip.

Btw, does that mean French mayonnaise = Miracle Whip?

And what does Japanese mayonnaise taste like?

Japanese mayonnaise, typically made with rice vinegar, tastes somewhat different from mayonnaise made from distilled vinegar. Sold in squishy plastic squeeze bottles, it is complementary to sushi and Japanese cuisine. It is even used on pizza. Kewpie is one popular brand of Japanese mayonnaise, advertised with a Kewpie doll logo.

Now I want to buy Japanese mayo and natto!

[Ozero]

maybe i'm not a conneisuer, but I have japanese mayo here, and I can't tell any difference.

The visiting student was surprised to see our mayo in a jar, mind you. Much harder to squirt all over everything.

ick

[decswxaqz]

haha yeah. When I went to Japan it was on everything =/. They had tons of sauces, from salad dressing to soy to tomato and those are the ones I recognise . They couldn't understand why I didn't at least use some of the sauces. I said I like to taste the food and not the sauce =/.

I <3 mayo and chips I've watched the adverts too much

we brits, especially in manchester, love mayo.

Mmmm, Chicken and mayo.. With stuffing and some vegies on a sandwich.

[Frankey-eh]

Jiyuu no Megane should be Jiyuu no Megami (自由の女神)

also... mayonnaise IS good. It's not chucky and full of fat like the American mayo. It's creamy, and since it has a star-shaped top, when you sqeeze it out of a bottle, it comes out like frosting. Mayo is suppose to be a good make-shift fire extinguisher, especially for fires in the kitchen involving deep-frying tempura or something.

By the way, Az, I don't think キューピー comes from Cupid, but rather, from Kewpie. (Although Kewpie did come from Cupid) That's a name of a doll that came out in US in the 1900s. See the resemblence?

Now that's a scary doll... but interesting info!

& if there's a grease fire you throw baking soda on it and/or cover it with a lid. Not mayo you tard.

Edit: changed host

Well I think it's safe to say that neither one is healthy

[Nii]

Mayonaise is great. I had the (un)luck of accidentally ordering a pizza Subway with mayonnaise on it though.

I never said it was Dutch, i'm just saying the Dutch are crazy about it, and that there is a distinct difference in French and Dutch mayonaise. Mayonaise probably is French. And don't look down on Dutch cuisine, i'll have it over snails anyday (yes yes i know i'm being obtuse)

Not that much into Mayonnaise myself.

Don't forget about the Natchos here, slatered with Mayo! (uck!)

BTW, where's the *barf* smiley?!?

On that note, me, the brit mayo eater, had a BLT with Mayo, a prawn mayo and a ham, cheese and mayo sarnie for lunch
