in retrospect subway's decision to partner with peter north to create a signature sandwich seems... ill-advised

careful buddy, you're close to being a more mainstream RAG

scotland: always at the cutting edge of innovations in extremely unhealthy food

Whats their obesity rate anyway

every scot is a perfect sphere

Is Scotland also an infinite frictionless plane?

if you drink enough buckfast it can certainly appear that way

I wasn't positive about which country a scene in the recent Avengers film was filmed in, until I saw a "We Will Deep Fry Your Kebab" sign behind the characters. Instantly knew it was Scotland!

Ha sphereland

Silby, you're making me regret moving south of the border..

How Millennials Killed Mayonnaise

Has been noted.

Good article.

Do you think 23andMe and MyHeritage and all those other DNA testing companies are flourishing because people want to find out their ancestors came from Aberdeen? Hells, no; they wannabe from Marrakesh or Manchuria or Malawi.

This attitude comes to you from young people who willingly slurp down eight kazillion kinds of yogurt, not to mention raw fish and pork belly and, yo, detergent pods, so don’t talk to me about mayonnaise.

Italics theirs.

Oh wait, duh.

I am buying the idea that yogurt is overvalued and mayo undervalued today. But I'm not sure that the author understands what a bad vehicle potato salad can be for bringing mayo to its skeptics. put it in some yuzu kosho dipping sauce, etc.

if I could put italics in my display name I'd be "yo, detergent pods" by now

mayo + french fries is the best argument for mayo

mayo + french fries is the best argument for mayo vinegar

I had some bahn mi fries over the weekend with kewpie mayo on them. I thought of asking them to hold it, but our party had such a huge order I didn't want to be a bother. It didn't kill me.

deeply otm

Mayo and chicken or turkey sandwich is the best argument for mayo.

Aïoli ride or die.

yes, it seems like fried food + myriad Aïoli + craft beer is a thriving industry today

most aioli i ever have is basically just mayonnaise

this is the great secret of aioli

also, she notes the popularity of sushi in the article, and I imagine most millennials are eating some spicy tuna or otherwise rolls with mayo. unless they're all eating weekday sugarfish up in the hills like Bosch's daughter.

My aïoli recipe: purée about four bulbs of garlic, a good slug of very green olive oil, teaspoon of both salt and white pepper, and a few heaping tablespoons of Waitrose mayo. Sometimes I add in a wedge of salt-preserved lemon if I want to serve it alongside prawns/squid/fish.

I eat LOADS of this aïoli on rice dishes eg. paella and arroz con pollo. I am also the person who buys Maille hollandaise on spesh and tarts it up with parsley, tarragon and fresh green peppercorns, because this is better than their Bearnaise.

that all sounds great

I scrupulously avoid rolls with mayo whenever I get sushi.

well yeah, because you just get the Trust Me to go and then spend all afternoon worrying about how some mechanism of corrupt LA politics will erase your dad as you bite into your blue crab handroll.

Do other condiments have pale imitators like Miracle Whip and Just Mayo and Vegenaise?

...yes? all of them? I don't know if the author's ever had knockoff sriracha but it is truly unfortunate

Vegenaise is actually pretty good though

veganaise is decent, as is hellman's vegan mayo. i'm being pescatarian now after a few years of veganism and i honestly don't prefer regular mayo over the aforementioned alternatives

I’m going to get all rockist about mayonnaise here but mayonnaise or aioli start with an egg yolk and a whisk, garlic, mustard and salt to taste then whisk and add oil, 5 minutes work at most.

i prefer aioli without egg

og aioli apparently uses garlic as emulsifier (so a lot of it is needed since it's not a v good agent for emulsification) which is pounded with olive oil in a mortar. and salt. in culinary school i recall being told aioli starts with cooked potato being mashed first then garlic and oil added - the tater in this case keeping the mess together. i dunno the derivation of modern day a-holey.

vegan mayo is super easy to make, anyways, this recipe is awesome fwiw: http://veganepicurean.blogspot.com/2009/05/homemade-veganaise.html

this is how i like it best.

need to get a new mortar and pestle

I have never been able to whisk mayonnaise into being.

i have never had real mayonnaise because peasant intuition tells me: eating raw egg yolk will make u die faster than industrially processed 5% pasteurised egg yolk mixed with a load of chemical gack will! In Asda right now they are selling shrink-wrapped duo packs of heinz ketchup/mayo for £2.50. Talk about the fucking Swiss army knife of condiment packages!

from that article upthread: and Red Robin launched a vegan burger. You don’t put mayo on a vegan burger.

Wheres this person been? "accidentally vegan" mayo has been a thing forever, thanks to cheapass food processing meaning a lot of cheaper brand mayos having no eggs in em to begin with.

I recently ordered a steak and cheese from a local sandwich shop

They gave me a steak and mayo

IT WAS REPULSIVE
