Why is Mayo controversial in America?

[kilésengati]

Where I live, Mayo and its varieties are a normal condiment eaten with fries, sausage, fish, pizza, vegetables and all kinds of things. Sometimes mixed with ketchup.

Why is it that it's so disliked in America?

Also mayo isn't just whipped up raw eggs. It's egg yolk slowly cooked whilst being whipped, plus a bunch of other ingredients like oil, lemon juice and mustard. Alternatively, egg yolk from hard boiled eggs can be used to increase food safety a bit and make it easier to produce.

Yeah, we all know coffee snobs and wine snobs, but you're taking mayo snobbery to Olympian heights. Heh.

And Americans don't take kindly to the word whilst either.

At least now you know how to make mayo with ease.

Number one, it's wrongheaded. Number two, it sounds fancy - like you got your pinkie sticking out while you sip tea and write in your diary. We don't want. We don't need it.

By the way, it's pronounced ah-loom-uh-num not al-you-min-eeeeee-um. So, there's that too.

I agree it's aluminum, as does the construction industry and anyone who actually deals with any quantity of the metal...

tho technically in chemistry it's aluminium.

edit: it's kinda like how anyone who actually deals with lumber calls it a 2x4 not a 35x70...

Mayo controversial in America? Where did you get that? Pretty common in North America.

Did you expect anything less from a European mayo snob?

Besides, America has issues with conjugation and spelling in general. Why trust their advice? But that's besides the point of mayo being one of the five holy basic sauces.

We like it just fine.

The real question is Duke's or Hellmann's.

That's the real debate.

It breaks down to Best Foods on the west coast and Hellmann's on the east coast. Owned by the same company.
