It’s fucking gross.

The smell, the taste, the sound it makes when people scoop big globs of it. And fuck “chefs” who try to church it up and call it aioli to put it on everything.

Your “secret sauce” isn’t a fucking secret it’s fucking mayo and go fuck yourself I don’t want it.

    I feel personally attacked.

    I make it from scratch because it’s easy, cheap, delicious, versatile, and the store-bought stuff has no flavor. If you’ve never had a great homemade mayo, I can understand why you’d think you hate it.

    This is the unpopular opinion forum, so here goes: I think the same thing about mustard. :p

    I don’t like gobs of mayo, but I like it as a garnish for some things. Even as a dip for fries (another unpopular one probably). Can’t beat a fresh tomato and mayo sandwich.

        Not a huge pepper fan, but maybe a dash. Salt depends on where the tomato was grown. My grandfather used to grow his by salt water, and they were perfect off the vine. Importantly, fresh tomato also implies fresh grown and not like most of what you find in the grocery store.

      I had to downvote, not because I agree personally but because SO MANY OTHERS agree with OP.

      This is a very common, popular opinion.

    Im weird in that I hate mayo, but I like a lot of foods that use mayo as an ingredient… if I do have to eat something with just mayo in it it does make me gag tho

    I love mayo, but I thank you for your service in providing a truly unpopular opinion.

    Fine, more for me 👍

    I like a good banana and mayonnaise sandwich every now and then.

    Hey I found your favorite store.

    The place was like a museum of mayonnaise. This being just at the height of the culte de la mayonnaise then sweeping Belgium, oversize exhibits of the ovoöleaginous emulsion were to be encountered at every hand. Heaps of Mayonnaise Grenache, surrounded by plates of smoked turkey and tongue, glowed redly as if from within, while with less, if any, reference to actual food it might have been there to modify, mountains of Chantilly mayonnaise, swept upward in gravity-impervious peaks insubstantial as cloud, along with towering masses of green mayonnaise, basins of boiled mayonnaise, mayonnaise baked into soufflés, not to mention a number of not entirely successful mayonnaises, under some obscure attainder, or on occasion passing as something else, dominated every corner.

    Yeah, I was surprised when I realized Japan loved it so much. Them and my grandmother. I actually like it but in much smaller amounts.

    I’m going to almost totally agree with you on this one.

    In terms of cooking, it’s a crutch mostly used by bad cooks who do not understand how to impart flavor.

    I like savory mayo. Give me some of that sweet salad dressing that people WRONGLY call mayo and I’ll throw the sandwich at you.
