I don't mind mayo. I just never got into getting excited about condiments.

I like pepper a lot but could live without it. Mustard makes almost everything better, but its not a life changer. Never got into ketchup, salt, sugar or any of those things.

You people are strange.
 
You say "raw egg yolk" but it's impossible to separate 100% white from yolk. What are you quoting or referring to?

I was just going by the wiki link in OP.

....but you shouldn't worry about the specifics and just interpret my comment as a more general: "There's less than a 1% chance of ingesting anything dangerous from a raw egg."



All the honey you will ever consume contains small amounts of clostridium botulinum spores, but that doesn't really bother you, does it?

I might be a cr@ppy reader or misunderstanding - I'm not seeing anything like what you're mentioning in the wiki. That said, there is probably more harmful bacteria on the outside of an egg than the inside, but one never knows what they get.

I'm still interested if anyone knows how well vinegar and/or lemon would kill bacteria when making mayo. I do love mayo and would actually eat it if I made it myself.

And I don't eat honey. But given that much of the honey on standard grocery store shelves is probably from China and ultra filtered to remove pollen, enabling it's origin to not be tracked, I'd be surprised many spores are to be found in it. Bets are off what other kind of chemicals it might include tho.

Mayo is the greatest thing ever.

Use in moderation though or suffer the love handles!....
 
i used to love both mayo and miracle whip. i used to ask for mayo on sandwiches, and extra mayo on the side.

now i almost never eat it. i don't miss it at all.
