I really like mayonnaise, it makes for good sauces and macaroni salad is just best thing ever
What is with this constant narrative of us millennials killing shit?
Millennials are brutal murderers
Not the generations before them.
Time to quote the Bible to the boomers who always hypocritically claim to love it so much:
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” - Ecclesiastes 3:1
…and mayonnaise should be used extremely wisely: never in vain, never merely due to tradition - and no matter what, it should always be used with full knowledge about its true, if somewhat mysterious and indescribable-in-words purpose. Those who never consider these mysteries are not fit to decide whether it is appropriate to use mayonnaise or not.

Majonez kielecki.
people put mayonnaise in salad?! worst food crime since pineapple on pizza!
Low quality bait
How is this new? Never heard of coleslaw or potato salad?
What? Mayonnaise is absolutely still a thing.
For real
Yeah I dunno. Miracle whip is gross as fuck.
Ah. I get it, no one actually looked up the article.

As Boston chef Scott Jones told Ari LeVaux, “The magic that sets mayonnaise above Coke and Heinz is that mayo is a perfect flavor carrier.” It just makes everything better. Need proof? Do other condiments have pale imitators like Miracle Whip and Just Mayo and Vegenaise? I don’t think so!
No idea what that is, but the picture is very much of Hellman’s mayonnaise, which is the most mayonnaise of all the mayonnaises
Why do you seem to think I don’t know what Mayo is? I just said I prefer mayo and loathe miracle whip that kinda says all that needs to be said.
What do you want about? I don’t even know what miracle whip is, I’ve never heard of it, but the picture is of Hellman’s which is definitely mayonnaise and not salad cream or anything else
Did you read the article? That’s where you’re confused here. I know what both are, you’re preaching to the choir.
Read the article you’ll be less confused.

that’s salad cream
I know the difference the problem is people replacing mayo with miracle whip.
Are they trying to say it’s dead because aioli exists?
Fake news… mayonnaise is still big and enjoyed in many different fishes, and by people in many different places. I love it on several things
Never considered commercial US branded bastardized mayo “Mayo” or even edible. Euro/Asian versions only, or homemade.
Millenials didnt kill mayonnaise… We might have killed Miracle Whip, but even Miracle Whip would famously claim it isn’t mayonnaise.
My partner and I are elder millennials, and I regret to inform you that we are keeping the people at Miracle Whip in business. I grew up poor and trashy, and one of my favorite snacks as a small child was Miracle Whip “sandwiches”. It was just Miracle Whip on nutrient deficient white bread.
I think in some sort of rebellion against what I was fed growing up, one of my favorite hobbies since I was allowed to use the stove has been cooking. I can make some very bougie dishes, but Miracle Whip will always have a place in my tuna salad and deviled eggs. My partner puts it in his grilled cheeses before frying them. We’re trash baskets at heart.

That’s not mayonnaise. Stop calling it mayonnaise.
What is mayonnaise to you? I thought Hellmans was the mayonnaise?
Of course, I would not know better than most, as I hate mayonnaise and am a 57-year old woman from Vietnam.
I feel like he might be referring to Miracle Whip as it is (or at least was when I was paying attention in the 80s/90s) sold as “salad dressing”. No clue why they called it that but it was a cheap alternative to mayonnaise that had a tangy zip.
Now I have real mayonnaise made with eggs in my house (my mom was always weirded out by non-refrigerated egg products).
They called it salad dressing because it is salad dressing. It goes in potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, etc. It’s just that most people use it as a sandwich spread today.
That makes sense! I always forget about those types of salads lol. Thanks!
I’m a 46 year old French man, and thanks to my family and travels I’ve tasted a variety of mayonnaises, all across the spectrum and a lot of the industrial stuff just tastes awful. They add so many preservatives in order to make it shelf stable, it completely loses any hint of the original flavour.
You can make fresh mayo with an egg yellow, some oil, a dash of vinegar / lemon juice (something acidic, really) and some mustard. Mostly you beat it until you’ve the desired texture and that’s about it! Even just this, you’ll have people arguing endlessly about which oil, which acid, which mustard, which proportions, etc :,D
Hellmann’s isn’t completely terrible, mind you. I was mostly being facetious with my remark.
It was the usual stuff you’d get in Ireland when I lived there, and it was okay. But there were much tastier brands available. And when I’m in France, even industrial brands, we have much better alternatives :PI reckon Vietnam must have the same issue as we had in China : it’s too damn hot! And since real mayo is uncooked egg yellow it’s super bad to keep it at room temperature for too long. I never bought any while living there, because it wasn’t in my shops and I just adapt to whatever people eat locally, but sometimes when I ordered pizza they would have “mayo” sprinkled on top and although it was delicious, the fact it was sweet makes me think it had nothing to do with the original stuff :P
My dad used to eat mayonaise salad and it was disgustiing.

That’s macaroni salad. Never heard it called mayonnaise salad.
Tbf I think it’s just a generalized term for anything like that, including egg salad, macaroni salad, any of those “‘salad’ but it’s really just shit mixed with mayo and served cold” type dishes. No I don’t have more examples because I hate them all.
I think I’ve seen this concoction before. It looks really good, and it probably would be if it wasn’t Mayo and instead was like… Idk, whipped cream or something as the base… But no. Fucking Mayo.
I’m pretty sure this stuff is the reason I have a grudge against Mayo.
But mayo instead of butter for a grilled cheese is kind of life changing.
wtf why
Better crisping & browning because butter has water in it. I do this too. It’s pretty widely used like that. Mayo smeared onto turkey skin before roasting also works, doesn’t end up tasting like mayonnaise.
Don’t worry, I’m sure Mayo isn’t going anywhere.
Thats the viscosity at work.
I’m a simple woman, I love me some mayo
