mayonaise is the new bacon, dude.
I love mayonaise. and i'm more than happy to be living in a country that considers it a delicacy :) i've been through three jars already. with a little dijon mustard thrown in. here it's called "sauce".
when i was growing up, we sometimes ate mayonaise and peanut butter sandwiches. stop it, everyone, with those "oh gross" groans, it was magically delicious. we also ate mayonaise and pork-n-bean sandwiches. van camp's pork-n-beans without mayonaise was a travesty for my grandpa and i would have to agree--although now what you find yummy as a kid would now give me a heart attack. and this was IN California not Missoura.
what can i say, once a rube, always a rube, but now i have an entire country to back me up on it!!! and those here don't consider themselves rubes so maybe i'm just precocious :)

Posted by colin at October 26, 2004 06:09 AMFunny, I hate mayo but I like aiolis.
But really, shouldnt we be talking about Ashlee Simpson instead?
Posted by Greg at October 26, 2004 09:13 AMthe whole Ashlee Simpson thing is so over-blown...I'd honestly rather talk about mayo
Posted by colin at October 26, 2004 09:39 AMMom used to make us banana mayonaise sandwiches. And we weren't even poor.
Mayonaise as lubricant, though? You've been on the road too long, guy.
that's funny, i was just telling prince paul at lunchtime that mayonnaise is the secret to the perfect hamburger. mayonnaise mixed with ketchup.
and speaking of mixing things with ketchup, dingdong just invented a new condiment yesterday. it's called "ranch-up," and it's teh bomb on tater tots. guess what's in it?
Posted by stefbot at October 26, 2004 03:42 PMStef - I am fascinated by the Ranchup, and I think you just reinvented Thousand Island Dressing with your "ketchonnaise". Tell Ding Dong to try dipping pretzel rods in regular Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Now that's some good eatin'.
Posted by chip at October 26, 2004 04:49 PMpardon my misspelling of mayonnaise. i thought it had two "n"s but then i figured jeffro was edu-ma-cated enuff that his spelling was correct. so i copied him. last time i listen to jeffro.
Posted by kc at October 27, 2004 04:09 AMMayonaise doesn't deserve to be spelled correctly, though I did know it had two n's because when I searched for images in Google it replied 'Did you mean Mayonnaise?' Speaking of which, OH MY GOD, you should see what turns up when you do a Google image search for mayonaise. Just do it. Definitely a new IM pic in there for anybody who needs one. Scary world we live in.
and I AM edumacated. You frickin french people think you're so much smarter just because you can speak a foreign language...
Posted by jeffro at October 27, 2004 04:30 AMStef- pickles are the secret to the perfect hamburger. Animal style, baby. Spread in perfect formation so that each bite contains equal amounts of pickle, condiments, lettuce, and thinly sliced onions. Tomatoes are redundant. That's what ketchup is for- it's prechewed tomatoes.
Posted by Jess at October 27, 2004 08:26 AMketchup = pre-chewed tomatoes? you tell that to our future first lady, miss jessica. i applaud your commitment to the virgo standard of the
"perfect bite," but i personally like my pickle to stand guard on the side as a palate cleanser, like the little pink pile of pickled ginger on a sushi plate.
oh and chip - i've learned never to tell dingdong to dip his pretzel rod in anything...he tends to take such things figuratively.
oh and i can't believe i let kc's first post slide. what are you thinking, girl? NOTHING will ever be the new bacon. bacon is the first and final word on good eating. now go wash your mouth out with bacon drippings...with a side of mayonnaise if you like. mmmm, baconnaise...
Posted by stefbot at October 27, 2004 10:07 AMHoly crap. I just realized, we're all wrong- the secret to the perfect burger is none other than bacon. Let us never let this sort of oversight happen again.
Posted by Jess at October 27, 2004 10:19 AMTime to start cooking!
I bet I can make some baconnaise. I like making homemade mayonnaise.
I need to cook some bacon to get grease for Kerry's cookies, so I might as well experiment.
Maybe some bacon grease/pot canola oil aioli for Greg. For after his set.
Grease is just pre-chewed bacon.
Posted by brian at October 27, 2004 02:31 PM"Aioli. Aiolion. Alien. That's nice."
Posted by Mr. McDowell at October 27, 2004 02:39 PMLARDONS, stef. LARDONS. french bacon is soooooo geeeuuuuooood. the name is better too=little fat things!!
p.s. Jeffro, i don't speak french. i speak english with a french accent. sometimes i speak a mix of spanish and french. would that be "Sprench" or "Frangol"? Sometimes I manage Franglish. However, I have taken it upon myself to learn the important words like asshole, sluts, and whores: Connards! Salopes! Putains! (French porn makes good language instruction).
Okay, so how did we get from mayonnaise to porn? You tell me, Salopes and Connards.
I believe we got from mayonnaise to porn via bacon.
