OK, so it isn't just me. Recently had my first Firehouse sub and after my first bite, was on the verge of throwing up. It was like "do you want a sub with your mayo?" Except for tuna, egg or pasta salad, I don't put on mayo and even then, very sparingly. I never put mayo on anything else. Firehouse gave me what I normally consume in three/four years all in one shot.

I'm not anti-mayo but I don't want it on everything. My brother however can't stand the taste or texture of mayo (or anything like it) so I try and pay attention so I can warn him what to avoid. One thing we've noticed is that the Japanese places around here LOVE to use mayo in everything - on sushi, in hibachi, as a salad dressing, etc. I haven't encountered this much mayo use in Japanese places elsewhere even in the US, so I'm assuming this is a southern thing. Am I right?

East Asia is the reason I can't eat mayonnaise anymore. Japan and Kewpie are bedfellows, China throws it on grapes, and Korea, always in last place, throws it in kimbap. Bakeries over in those napes of the woods also add it to bread filled with yakisoba, corn kernels, and the most dolorous, pork floss.

On grapes? That's not only disgusting, it's utterly bizarre.

I'm not sure. I have a vague memory of someone in my family making a grape salad that involved mayo, or possibly sour cream.

Hmmm. I wonder what all the people in mayo loving countries think of Miracle Whip, the poor cousin to real mayonnaise. Miracle Whip is to mayonnaise as margarine (oleo) is to butter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Whip

You need to try Japanese Kewpie Mayo. The dash of MSG makes all the difference!

Main thread, most Americans make toasted cheeses sandwiches with mayo instead of butter on outside. Delicious.
I love mayo but to each his own.

Huh. I’ve spent most of my 66 years in the US and have never heard of mayo used on grilled cheese sandwiches instead of butter or margarine. This sounds disgusting but implausible.

You have me on years but I have never had a grilled cheese with mayonnaise in all my years living in the US.

On the other hand, the ""cheese" in most US grilled cheese sandwiches isn't really cheese ;)
