I dislike mayo. It's a combination look/texture/taste thing. When I travel overseas in countries where it's a popular condiment I lean toward choosing restaurants where there are picture menus or the food is prepared in front of me and I can point to what I want, if I don't speak the language well enough to say, "No mayonnaise." Also, certain ethnic cuisines are extremely unlikely to use mayo. My most pleasurable meal on a trip to Argentina was Jordanian!

Curiously it's also difficult to avoid mayo in the US and UK, where language barrier shouldn't be a factor. Sometimes I ask, "What's on this sandwich?" and mayo isn't listed as an ingredient but is added anyway. Or I order a sandwich "plain, mustard and onions only" and it comes with mayo and maybe one or two other surprise toppings, too. There have also been multiple times I've told a food worker (who speaks English), "No mayo, please," only to watch him/her pick up the paddle 1 second later and absolutely slather my sandwich with the stuff.

California roll please, use real crab meat with no mayo. yes, i’ll pay more.

I’ve eaten and made a lot of kimbap in my life and I’ve never run in to mayo in it.

We had a catered lunch at work this week. I love club sandwiches and hate mayo. I somehow completely forgot that club sandwiches are traditionally served with mayo. Usually I ask the waiter to omit it, but it's like a reflex at this point and not something I think about. Saw delicious looking bacon and tomatoes. Transferred sandwich to my plate. Had to discard most of the bread.

Mayo = Satan's condiment

My instinct is to order without mayo, but I think it's actually not that bad a condiment if used sparingly. But few cooks use it sparingly.

I didn't mention it but yes, I use dill with the combo too. Delicious. I have some spicy or chipotle dijon that I use sometimes.
All this mayo hate.....I can eat it straight from the jar on a spoon! Best Foods mayo only.

I had a roommate in college that would eat Cremora (a powdered coffee creamer. I don’t know if it’s still sold) from the jar with a spoon. You are not in good company. 😄

HAHA---that sounds like eating baby powder and something that one would choke on. I am not that stupid.
Surely you don't see a problem with squirting whipped cream from the can into your mouth though, do you?

Not only is this a thread hijack, it, as well as other posts have shifted the focus from overseas (from a clearly US-Centric poster) to clearly domestic culinary abominations!

Sorry for the hijack but I cannot leave this post unanswered.

I suppose it’s alright to ingest a little whipped cream if it’s collateral to getting a lungful of nitrous. I’m grown up now but as teenagers we’d empty the nitrous and put the can back on the shelf.

Yes, I know someone who admits to that too. He used to work in a grocery store as a teen so he must have been high as a kite.
Haha...collateral. Nope, just the cream although I am signed up for nitrous from my dentist for my upcoming root canal. I would have preferred full anesthesia but they won't do it.

It being Friday and Lent, I grilled salmon again last night for the 3 of us. This time I added the Dijon to the mayo and dill. It went over well. My father in law is not a seafood lover but I’m converting him slowly. This helps.

and now back to your regularly scheduled overseas overuse of mayonnaise thread.

For a majority of the world, the US is an overseas destination :p

And now, our overseas destination is unavailable for the majority of the world to hijack our mayonnaise!
