OT: The M-Fing Food Thread

My world would be much less happy place if there was no mayo.

I think it's a Canadian thing. They don't generally serve burgers here that come standard with mayo.

Yeah, there was a Bruce Willis movie where mayo usage in Canada was a running gag

 

[Preston]

Easiest thing to make too. Literally 30 seconds. Can season it to your taste too.

 

[MindzEye]

I know, that's why I tell them to hold the sauce, buddy.

You probably eat your steak well done with ketchup

 

[BeLeafer]

Best to make it yourself, as the oils they use in processed mayo is deadly.

He doesn't like sauces!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

No ketchup, but medium well. I can't eat meat when it needs a band-aid.

This is presto level weird.

I like sauces. Not creamy, mayo-bursting sauces.

Horrible crime

 

[BeLeafer]

I make lots of sauces but don't use mayo in them very often. I use mayo for things like slaw, chicken salad, salad dressings.

 

[MindzEye]

but medium well.

I rest my case

 

[BeLeafer]

I prefer steak medium but no probs with med rare. Most restaurants serve medium when you ask for mr anyway.

I know it's an unpopular view, but I grew up in a household where anything undercooked was de facto unhealthy and could very well kill you. To this day, no one in my immediate family has even tried sushi.

So whether it's being accustomed to upbringing or not, trying to chew through a bloody piece of meat makes me want to barf on several levels.

 

[CH1]

psssst, mayo is the base for all of the secret sauces you love.

In & Out's burger sauce is mayo based, for example.

But is it really mayo if you're adding ketchup and mustard to the thing?

I have 99 uses for mayo but deploying it straight up on a burger ain't one.

If it's squirting juices all over the place you haven't rested it long enough.

Agreed. I actually like mayo in rare instances on chicken sandwiches, but rarely eat it because it feels unhealthy.

Though I can't really think of another thing I like to eat mayo with.

 

[BeLeafer]

Of course, bearnaise, which I make fairly often, is really just a fancy mayo.

 

[BeLeafer]

I'm getting hungry.

I mean, it's not just that. The texture of the meat, when you can't even properly chew it and separate it in your mouth disgusts me. And more importantly, the actual taste of more cooked meat is what steak is all about. That's when you can actually taste it.
