Blacks and mayonnaise
- Thread starter southrue
- Start date
(Washington State) I don't make sandwiches at home often enough to buy mayo, so I don't use it. When I order a sandwich from say Subway, I basically get flavored mayo to avoid a dry sandwich. So, I don't mind mayo on a sandwich or in a salad, as long as it's not overpowering. But forget mayo, what's up with pickles? I hate pickles! Every time I get a burger from Mcdonalds, or BK, I tell them not to use pickles, or I take them off myself. Cucumbers are cool, but I can't stand nasty-ass pickles.

funny ass thread...i used to work at a mayonnaise plant
love a little light mayo on my sammiches preferably hellmanns tho
Ok I found this in the store the other day and bought a small jar to try it. I should have gotten the larger jar. It makes no sense how good this mayo is. At first I thought it was just ok. But when it mixed with the flavors of the sandwich... mercy... It was GOOD. I checked the ingredients list: Hellmans and Kraft (which is what I usually buy) have oil as the first ingredient followed by water, then eggs. Duke's has oil then eggs. You can also taste the vinegar more. I love this stuff. I'm ready to throw the other mayo I have in the house away.
Mayo is great on a sandwich or a hamburger...
Mustard is nasty
& pickles on a hamburger is....
Depends on the pickle. Some are trash. Wendy's has trash pickles.
For me, pickles take away from the taste of the burger...., too distracting.
In a lot of cases I agree. It depends on the pickle tho, some are really good. I normally avoid them because of the salt. I just made the comment because I had gotten a hamburger from Wendy's the other week, forgot to order it with no pickle, and it totally destroyed the taste of the sandwich. I'm still having flashbacks.
I do very little condiments on my burgers.
Yes, the less the best especially if the burger is grilled....
sour creme, mayo, cream cheese, tartar sauce are all anti melanin lol
Agreed, the only white sauce/condiment that I️ eat is ranch.
I own a restaurant here in the Virgin Islands most young adults eat Wings and fries with a tremendous amount of Mayonnaise and Ketchup sprayed out of the squeeze bottles on there Food. They grab the bottles and try to almost squeeze out its contents over there food, It looks gross. If I use single serve packets they cuss you for 10 more. In the British Virgin islands that put a dab of that mayo in there fish sauce. Also there is a dish called "SOUSE" which is pig feet w onions, garlic cucumber, delicacy served with Potato salad I always try to tell some of them who are already overweight that it's not good for them. I have to buy two gallons every two days for my place and when I lived in NY I only saw that stuff during the summer at cookouts
which virgin island, and hows the fish at your place...??
fuckin nasty..i can't stand mayo.
Team mayo on select sandwiches
I put mayo on certain sandwiches depending on the meat.
When I was stationed in Germany, the Germans put mayo on French Fries, they put it on the side for you.
It actually tastes good and better than ketchup.

Meet The People Who Hate Mayo More Than Anyone
If the thought of a mayo-slathered sandwich revolts you, there’s a whole community out there waiting to commiserate with you.

The year was 1966, and he was having lunch at a friend’s house in the Lakefront area of New Orleans. The friend had “a ham sandwich with white Bunny Bread, slathered with Blue Plate mayonnaise,” he tells me over Facebook Messenger. “Asking me what I would like, I responded ‘Peanut butter sandwich, ma’am!’ She complied with a nice Bunny Bread sandwich and a glass of cold white milk.”
Lachin bit into the sandwich, expecting a creamy, nutty taste to fill his mouth. Instead, “Mayonnaise oozed out the side of the crusted bread, coating my tongue and all senses with an oily, sulfur semi-liquid. ... Gagging, I leapt from the kitchen table as her hate-filled babbling told me to never come back again. I remember the sound of a worn corn broom chasing my bare feet out the back door. I climbed the fence to get home.” He was 5 or 6 years old, he reckons.
FACEBOOK/HUFFPOST
Victor Lachin is an active member of the I Hate Mayonnaise! Facebook group. He shares a horrifying tale of a peanut butter sandwich made with mayo.
It’s a memory that’s stayed with him his entire life. He described a similarly traumatic experience while attending a Catholic school summer camp. In a post from 2011, found within the I Hate Mayonnaise! Facebook group, it involved receiving the wrong lunch from his mother (a sandwich slathered in mayo) and a nun who forced him to eat it.
Of all the condiments out there, a fierce hostility toward mayonnaise is definitely the most prevalent. It’s one of the most divisive foods, on par with cilantro, blue cheese and coconut. But the hatred for what is essentially emulsified egg yolks, oil and some kind of acid (typically lemon juice, or vinegar) goes beyond the polite declining of a tuna sandwich: It’s a force that bonds people, either as a comfort or, in some cases, a means to control public mayonnaise options.
In recent years, the internet has done a lot for self-identifying mayo haters to feel connected. Facebook groups, anti-mayonnaise Facebook pages, Reddit forums and other online community hubs provide them with an arena where they can air their grievances against the spread. Journalists against mayonnaise have published their views nationally. Non-Mayo-Eaters can even proudly express their views via fashion as well.
While most people can trace their mayo hatred back to a specific point when they first tasted it and immediately disliked it, there is actually a science to why it’s so repulsive for some. Most of it has to do with sensory issues: How it looks, its consistency, even its temperature (room-temperature goo, no thanks) all contribute to an avoidance of mayo at all costs.
However, it’s still one of those foods that feels almost phobia-like.
“I don’t know why I hate mayo,” Damara Hutchins, a registered nurse from Florida, tells me. “I have looked at the individual ingredients and can find no reason I despise it so much.”
Hutchins goes to great lengths to avoid even the smallest trace of mayonnaise. She’ll grill people about “suspicious items,” and avoids most salad dressing (olive oil alone is perfectly fine). Sandwiches are topped with mustard. She only uses ketchup on fries and burgers.
It’s her Southern roots, however, that give her the most trouble. Duke’s mayonnaise, a recipe developed by Eugenia Duke during World War I, is a staple of Southern cooking.
FACEBOOK/HUFFPOST
Gabe Golan started the I Hate Mayonnaise! Facebook group and is now the group’s main moderator.
“Mayo is like pudding,” Hutchins said in a message, discussing the added pressure of dealing with family members who don’t understand her distaste for mayo. “They use it for deviled eggs, potato salad and fruit salad.”
Her father used to eat banana sandwiches slathered in mayo and “dip his fries in mayo mixed with ketchup.”
Her senses heightened for the taste of mayo as she grew older; one of her stories involved tasting mayonnaise in a batch of biscuits her grandmother made. The recipe called for one tablespoon of the stuff.
Both Lachin and Hutchins are part of the Facebook group I Hate Mayonnaise! It was founded in 2015 by a group of friends who hated mayo.
“I started this group a couple of years ago to see the amount of fellow mayonnaise haters,” Gabe Golan, the group’s main moderator, tells me. “I was surprised to see the response. It truly warms my heart to see the amount of mayonnaise hate out there!” The group has only 132 members, but they are very active and post a few times a month.
“Gabe and I were at an event talking about our disgust for mayo,” said Catherine DeLauro, a friend of Gabe’s and another administrator for the group. “After a few beers, we decided to make the FB group.”
Her boyfriend, who was also part of the conversation, created his own (now defunct) Pro-Mayo group. “They are my arch nemesis,” DeLauro added.
The group has now become a forum for those united under the commonality, and it was featured in a BuzzFeed article in 2016. Members post memes and videos, articles or images of “mayo issues” (one post featured a chocolate cake step-by-step video, with the caption, “Who on earth decided to put Mayonnaise in cake?”). Members ask for cooking tips and generally commiserate over their hatred for mayo and how it affects their lives.
When asked why they hate mayonnaise so much, group members were quick to reply:
“It looks like pus.”
“The smell gives me migraines, and makes me want to gag.”
“Most things in nature white in appearance that are not vegetables are rotten and disgusting. Sea Foam is white in color. Would you put sea foam on your lunch?”
Can’t eat a hoagie without mayo and a lot of black folks out mayo on their cheesesteaks

Mayo on hot sandwiches is a no go for me. I can spread some on cold sandwiches but I will send any burger or cheese steak back that has mayo on it. Oddly enough, my ex about 12 years ago put me on to putting a slight bit of Mayo on Baked potatoes or mashed potatoes which obviously is hot. It actually enhances the flavor of the potato and mixes well.
Also my wife put me on to making grilled cheese with spreading a thin layer of mayo on the bread instead of butter. It toasts the bread much better and evenly.
