Deli sandwich mayo is good. Delicious in fact.

Store bought mayo, not so much.

You can't explain that.

Fast food mayonnaise is pretty bad though. I try to get no mayo on anything from say McD's or Burger King. They put so much of that shit on sometimes, it's all you taste. And the taste is disgusting to begin with.

Whatever their McChicken sauce is, I love it. I never go to McD's anymore, but if I ever do I get McChicken sauce packets to go with the fries. D: and :awe:

When I worked at McD's as a teenager I remember mayo being in cylinders. You inserted them into a type of caulking gun and it squeezed out 3 spots on the bun to get adequate coverage. By adequate I mean like 3 tablespoons of it per spot. Ridiculous amount considering how tiny their buns were.

When we were kids, we ate mayonnaise sandwiches - mayonnaise (Hellmann's, never anything else) on white bread. Usually, but not always, with lettuce and a sprinkling of salt.

After-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches were turkey, a generous spread of mayonnaise, lettuce, salt. If I had turkey in the fridge year-round, I could probably eat one of these every day.

My favorite ham sandwich is ham with a good swiss cheese. Spread mustard on one slice of bread (or better, a good semi-hard roll) and on the other side spread mayonnaise. The ham goes on the mustard side, swiss on the mayo side, never the other way around.

We have a local sandwich shop that offers what is essentially an Italian sub - salami, pepperoni, ham and provolone, with lettuce, tomato and onion. They put oil & vinegar on it, but for some unknown reason, unless you ask them to hold it, also mayonnaise. Who in the world puts mayonnaise on an Italian sub?

This baffles me to no end, as well. People like this should be run out of town, and never allowed to make and sell sandwiches to the public, again.

The most delicious and mayonaisy of sandwiches, tomato. Get a really nice fresh ripe tomato, slice about 1/4 inch thick slather mayo on a good bread of your preference, salt and pepper on the tomato slices and enjoy. Heresy, but still better than a BLT.

Worst mayo on a sandwich, I got a hot pastrami from Togo's and got home and found out the maker user mayo instead of mustard.

What pisses me off is sandwich makers who think "everything" on a sandwich/sub means salt also. What kind of retard does that? I now have to specify "everything except salt", and look like an idiot to the majority of sensible people so I can protect myself from morons :^S

yep - if going low carb lifestyle

Real Mayo = 0 carbs - stick a spoon in it and eat all ya can handle
Light Mayo = a lot more carbs - so avoid it

WTF are you talking about. Light Mayo has less than 1g of carbs per serving.
