Has anyone tasted home-made mayonnaise?

I've made homemade. Didn't like it. I'm just too used to Hellmann's Olive oil mayo that nothing else compares.

That's not mayo...
 
Aioli ftw.

Stick some roasted garlic (cut the top off a bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, bake for 12 minutes @ 350) and some lemon juice in a food processor, add some store-bought mayo, and combine. Tasty tasty tasty.

You can add pretty much anything to it at this point...cayanne pepper, red chili flakes, etc...to make it taste however you want with whatever you're making it to go with. Spicy works well with something like beer-battered asparagus.

You're right. It's just a pic of mayo. I know this because I tried to open it, and wound up just bumping into the screen dazed and confused wondering who I was, where I was and what I and everyone else on earth is really doing here and why.

Sorta this. Though if I'm roasting up the garlic I'll go ahead and make homemade mayo while that's going on.

Garlic and truffle aioli is mind numbingly delicious on homemade potato chips and/or fries.

Pretty much. The caveats are that commercial products enough preservatives to survive the end of the universe while I wouldn't make too much mayo because it won't keep too long.

The other thing is that some people just suck at making things. I have an inlaw who can't get it through her head that the sauce goes on the outside of the meatloaf, not mixed all together. Well, she's exceptional, but you get the drift.
 
Okay, is Best Food's REALLY the same as Hellman's? I live on the west coast so we only get Best Food's, but we also have Jimmy John's sandwich shops which use Hellman's and I swear theirs tastes better.

Mayo dressing <> mayo. That's basically mayo manufacturer's answer to miracle whip.


when in doubt, read the ingredient list.

I much prefer European style mayos, I always buy the above one in specialty stores. Probably an acquired taste, I didn't try Hellmann's until I was 20 something. I think they put more eggs/yolks and it has a richer flavour, Hellmann's is very bland to me. For something not healthy, it should at least have some flavour ffs.
Miracle Whip is like mayo+vinegar to me, even worse than Hellmann's...
