I think it’s the texture paul

Mayo is the goat condiment. It’s versatile & makes everything better but in a subtle way that extenuates the food, much like salt.

I prefer catsup and mustard but when I need mayonnaise it’s always Hellmann. The rest tastes like benzene or plastic. My mouth my way. It’s good enough so why frick around.

Only hate it when a gallon of it gets poured on my burger or sandwich but I guess that goes for every other condiment

buffalo sauce,



Buffalo sauce is hot sauce and butter, never had any with mayo. That would be way too thick

I liked it, then hated it, now like it again. I still prefer mustard.

I have found a like a mayonnaise that is tangier. My current favorite is the primal kitchen one made with avocado oil.

I was indifferent to it as a kid.

Now it definitely has its place. Chicken sandwiches, sometimes hamburgers, BLTs…

Ridiculous hyperbole. When does that happen, seriously?

My mom put miracle whip on everything growing up and I thought that was amazing.

As an adult I haven't had miracle whip in over 40 years and the one time I tasted it I gagged


Pretty much my story. Grew up with Miracle Whip but tasted mayo as an adult and haven't looked back. Mayo is my favorite condiment.

That's the primary issue with mayo for me.

It's just largely unnecessary for me. I don't need it on sandwiches or burgers that I make myself.

I use Ina Garten's recipe below. I put in extra capers and green onions because we love them. I didn't cook that many shrimp, but I doubled the sauce because my Mom likes having it around and I can defrost and roast shrimp pretty quickly when she or anyone else wants to have it.

I started roasting shrimp using Ina's method some years ago. It's so easy when you need cooked shrimp for a salad, shrimp cocktail or dip or whatever. I line the cookie sheet with non-stick foil, roast and toss the foil. Timing depends on the size of the shrimp. I had 16/20s, but I only roasted for 8 minutes.

I served this over a bed of shredded iceberg because we like the crunchy texture it adds to this salad. Drizzled some dressing on top of the lettuce. I put the shrimp in the middle with some dressing. On the sides, we had sliced avocado, quartered hard boiled egg and some halved multi-colored cherry tomatoes. Very colorful and tasty!

2 pounds large (16 to 20-count) shrimp, peeled, deveined, with the tails on
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1¼ cups good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann’s
½ cup Heinz chili sauce
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1½ tablespoons bottled grated white horseradish, drained
2 teaspoons Sriracha
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup minced scallions (2 scallions)
2 tablespoons capers, drained

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Dry the shrimp well with paper towels. Place them on a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper, toss well, and spread them out in one layer. Roast for 10 minutes, until firm and just cooked through. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, horseradish, Sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Stir in the scallions and capers. Arrange the shrimp on a platter with the sauce in the middle for dipping. Offer a separate bowl for the discarded shrimp tails.

Mayonnaise is the most disgusting substance on the planet.. followed closely by “American cheese”.. accidentally tasting either makes me gag .

The main condiments i prefer are creole mustard, bbq sauce and salsa .
