I hope not; I buy it by the gallon and then refill the jars from it, and sometimes it gets all over my hand when I reach in to scoop it out.

I thought it was safe scooping. Maybe not. Gonna quit licking it off, though.

In New Orleans, it's pronounced "My-nez." I've always liked it, but all three of my kids avoid it like the plague.

The phrase "sink full of mayonnaise" evokes an image of the famous "Kitchen Sink Sandwich," featured in somebody's semi-famous White Trash Cookbook of a decade or two ago. The sandwich consists of sliced fresh-from-the-garden juicy tomatoes, plenty of mayo, and generic American soft white bread. It's impossible to eat without dripping ~ hence the name.

Mayonnaise is said to be the invention of the chef of the Duc de Richelieu: in 1756. While the Duc was defeating the British at Port Mahon on Mallorca, his chef was creating a victory feast that included a sauce made of cream and eggs. The chef named it " Mahonnaise" in honour of the Duc's victory.

Camilo José Cela, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, wrote:

"it should be possible to demonstrate documentally that it was Richelieu himself who christened it with the name of "mahonesa". For, doubtless, in some attic belonging to a Menorcan family - if the damp has not consumed it or the rats devoured it - there lies a letter from the Duc, a man much given to the pleasures of the table and the bed, who already an octogenarian and never having shown any repugnance for bed nor board, relapsed into matrimony for the third time: the letter letter would be addressed to that amorous grandmother - there is one in all the best families - and in the paragraph which interests us would say,.... and if it were possible for me to ever forget you, madame, this delicate sauce with which you were wont to gladden my palate would ensure my remembrance of you, and from this moment, I should tell you that because of the impossibility of bearing your name, I will call it mayonnaise."

You aimlessly watch the boats bob about and soak up the warmth of the day and the freshness of the clean air. What are you eating martin?????????????

You can find recipes for homemade mayonnaise in the Joy of Cooking. I wouldn't do it myself, for two reasons: too much work, and the raw eggs could have salmonella.

In the U.s., at least, it is important to distinguish between real mayonnaise and the substitute stuff, such as Miracle Whip. Miracle Whip has a slimy texture and sharp taste. Hatum duts!

Delicious chicken breasts (seduction dinner #46)

Mix sauce: ahead of time, whisk together a dollop of mayonnaise, an equal amount of yogurt, and a teaspoon or so of dried tarragon. (Amounts depend on how many people you are feeding.) Grind in a modest amount of black pepper. Place in the refrigerator to blend.

Cook chicken: flatten chicken breast meat between sheets of wax papr, using a hammer, beer bottle, or banjo. Saute the chicken breast in butter or olive oil till pinkness is gone. Let rest (absorb its own juices) for a few minutes and serve with the sauce, along with good bread and a fresh vegetable.

The name of the mayonnaise-like artificial food product made by Kraft Foods (USA) includes the word "Miracle," spelled correctly, followed by the misspelled neologism "Wip."

Somebody up above there got it exactly wrong, misspelling "Miricle" and then spelling "Whip" correctly. [No big deal, of course ~ just a point-of-information ;^)]

Homemade mayonnaise isn't so dern difficult. Make it in a blender, and put the top on the blender but without the little insert part in the center; just pour the oil slowly but steadily through the center-hole while whupping the egg(s). Tastes so much better than the preservative-ized storebought stuff that it might make converts of some of you condiment-haters out there.

By the way, raw egg as an ingredient doesn't scare me one bit. I live in the industrialized West, and I have a working refrigerator in my house. So do most of you; if so, you really have no good reason to fear fresh homemade mayo, egg nog, etc. There's so much irrational fear and/or over-caution prevailing these days ~ some of it comes from fear-of-lawsuits, but it's become so endemic throughout society that it even extends to one's own household (as though we should be afraid of being sued by ourselves or our family members).

While I ponder this thread I think I'll fabricate one of my family's ultimate sandwiches. You start with a slice of toast, spread on peanut butter, then and only then a layer of mayo (the real stuff, not Miracle Warp), add a couple of slices of tomato, and finish it off with a top layer of toast. YUM!

However, if you mix up the preparation order you're in real trouble...

When I was a teenager circa 1978, I used to wait the counter at a Soda Fountain and Lunch Counter. We had a customer who always ordered grilled peanut butter, bacon, and mayonaise sandwiches. BARF! He ate that 6 days a week. (We were closed sundays) He'd wash it down with a Cherry Phosphate. At least he tipped well. He owned the local laundromat. Why I even remember any of this is beyond me. I can probably recall the regular orders of all my old customers if I put my mind to it. Another guy who came in every day liked Grilled Peanut Butter, Jelly and Mustard sandwiches on Rye. Blech.

Curmudgeon and I are mayonnaise abusers, but, fortunately, there are support groups. (Such as this thread...)

Mayo on hotdogs is GREAT (steamed dogs, also served with pepper relish along with the mayo, a la "Flo's" of Maine).

Mix mayo with a dollop of Pommery mustard and spread (1/8 inch thick) on top of a white-fleshed fish filet (haddock, cod) and put under the broiler until the top (of the mayo) browns slightly. Lovely!

Mayo on burgers, mayo on fries...sometimes mix mayo with a dash of tabasco for the fries.
