In china indeed.
I was eating at a rather nice restaurant, and we were with some locals, they ordered the fruit salad.
It came, with mayo all over it! I was appalled, but learned this is very common there. Those with my suggested that it may have been seen in the west to have some 'white stuff' on top being whipping cream, and so someone came back and put mayo on it thinking it was mayo, and started a countrywide trend....who knows for sure!
