Devil's Condiment Maybe Just a Little Strong But
 

when i was a kid, we didn't have much money and 1 of my favorite snacks was mayo on white bread (this was in the 50's) - i think that's why i cannot stand mayo now
i think the US is probably a major offender, because i don't remember having an issue with foods in any other part of the world (haven't been to antarctica though)
when i moved to california i discovered to my horror that the default on hamburgers is mayo on the bun - yuk! i do still forget (or the kitchen put it on anyway) and i'm OK with scraping as much off the bun as i can, but the server will get a dark look

One of the reasons I initially raised the question:

Order dry burger for no condiments. Order plain burger for no cheese, lettuce, tomato or pickles. My son orders plain and dry which is meat and bun.

And back specifically to the OP, it has never been easier to avoid mayo overseas!

(You can't accidentally be served in a place that you can't get to.)

Anyone else saw the thread title and thought this thread was about how to avoid mayo in certain countries with poor hygiene standards, but instead gets 6 pages of people discussing their likings of the condiment itself?

I don’t think the original topic had any legs. After discussing which countries use too much mayo and which dishes may or may not use mayo, what more can be said on the topic? Whereas, most of us are willing to post about the foods we like or don’t like. Human nature, I guess. Or maybe it’s just me. 😁

Oh, it's not just you :)

For anyone who needs 45 minutes of distraction and evidence of BamaVol 's point, hie on over to:

Change your settings to 40 posts/page and you would only be at 3 pages as of this post. :confused:

:D

That is what I thought also. I do like mayo in certain situations, like on French fries. But I avoid it if I think it has not been stored properly, especially in those countries that may not have great food handling standards.
