It's aioli that someone figured out how to sell before they finished making it

It's a great base for a sauce as well, mix it with some green pesto, put that on a burger (both on the top and bottom bun) and thank me later!

Ooh, sounds intriguing. I'll try to remember to do this next time.

These 2 opinions are all we need in this thread tbh

Thought I hated it all until fairly recently. Homemade mayo can be OK. Japanese Kewpi mayo is pretty good. Still, I rarely put it on anything by choice.

[–] Vedlt@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I use it for tuna or egg salad, but that's it. I wish I could find something that works just as good but I actually like.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Very specifically only on a burger that has crummed white meat like chicken schnitzel. Otherwise it ruins everything it touches.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The plant based kind is actually very good.

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

There are several sandwich shops I just don't go to because they only use mayo and mayo is disgusting. But I do like other mayo based things like potato salad and deviled eggs.

After hearing about Kewpie mayo for years I finally got some when I visited Japan and... it's alright. Not bad, not life changing, just alright. Maybe I've just always had good mayo so my standard has been too high.

Remoulade on the other hand, that's where it's at. Could drink that shit up with a straw

A decent mayonnaise is quite simple in the making. Like 6 Ingredients: 2 egg yolks 250 ml vegetable oil 2 tsp lemon juice salt & pepper ½ tsp mustard

Perfect with chips or for meat. I think it is birthing wrong with it, just a bit tricky on the temperature.

But luckily tastes are different. So, if you don’t like it, just don’t make it.

Wait egg yolks? When I've made it, it was with egg whites.

I generally don’t like it. If I get a sandwich made or something I’ll ask for no mayo. Most restaurant/chain mayo sucks. Heavy on the oil and other things that mess up a flavor I’m not keen on in the first place. There are some things that need it, like egg salad, and that’s fine. I don’t mind adulterated versions like chipotle mayo or sriracha mayo. However, if it’s a good mayo, it can really make a sandwich, especially if there are complementary ingredients like avocado.

Japanese mayo is great. Not as sour as regular mayonnaise.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Sour...? Are you getting actual mayonnaise or Miracle Whip? Cuz regular mayo ain't sour at all. It's just egg and oil.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Mayonnaise has lemon juice or similar acid.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Lemon juice or vinegar is a key ingredient of mayo. Its supposed to have a bit of a tang to it. I feel like the fattiness kinda hides the acidity somewhat though

[–] berryjam@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Freshly made mayo is nice. I haven't tried the other products people are mentioning here.
