How Millennials Killed Mayonnaise

This guacamole in a jar sounds like guac salsa from Pollo Loco, love it! We make it at home and freeze it when buying a bag of Costco avocados. Its really a dip, not true guac, never tried the jar version.

Never had mayo growing up in uk. My dad delivered supplies to fish and chip shops, the only condiments were salt, pepper, hp sauce and malt vinegar. HP sauce with egg and chips, yum. Pickled onions, piccalilli, pickled anything in malt vinegar.

I don’t use mayo much now, maybe on a turkey sandwich. Spicy Brown Mustard is my preferred spread on a sandwich. My wife has thyroid issues, can’t eat anything using soy lecithin, no mayo for her.

Yeah, but to many, aiolis are no more than a mixture of Olive oil, salt and garlic. So if I'd just said aioli, it wouldn't have been descriptive enough. Plus, the topic is mayo.

For sure, I just thought it was funny given the opening article had a dig about millenials only eating aioli not mayo.

Of course 'original' aioli didn't have mayo from a jar, and it isn't necessary to make aioli, even though it's common now.

That is the exact recipe I use for aioli, and it's one of the very few things we use mayo for.
 
I am told that once you know how to make homemade mayo, you'll never go back to the stuff in a jar. But I can't verify this because I've never made my own.

That's what I meant then- I had no clue what is in guacamole- whatever is in it-I just know I will eat avocado that way. Not that I go out of my way to get it or make it- no. But if is being offered at a party or something, I would eat it.

If given the choice, I will eat guacamole and chips instead of ice cream and cake. I wish that I had the choice more often!

I'm not motivated enough to make it but I have read the same thing. One of these days I'll try it because I have had success with other homemade items - salad dressing comes to mind. I really don't like the premade stuff any more. Although if there is avocado on the salad I don't use dressing at all, homemade or otherwise.
 
Miracle Whip & Velveeta cheese on white bread was my favorite sandwich growing up. I still prefer MW to mayo and I think deviled eggs taste better with MW than mayo.

The home made one doesn’t last long (it goes flat/watery after a while), and it takes quite a bit of effort. So for patato salad, jar will do now:)

My sister in law eats her asparagus with mayo. And not just a little mayo. Kinda grossed me out when I saw it.

I think this might be a French/European thing. My husband's family eats asparagus with a little bit of mayonnaise on it. His maternal grandmother came from the Alsace-Lorraine region and her cooking was influenced by both the German and French.

Pan-Steamed Asparagus with Lemon-Caper Mayonnaise
Cover and steam over high heat until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, capers, mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Serve the asparagus with the sauce.
 
Ah, I get it. My bad.

Where I am coming from it it is hard to grasp a person will eat guacamole but not avocados. Even with spices almost the same thing. I figured she had to be talking about guacamole from a jar as my guess there is very little if any avocado in it. Which means different taste buds may like that but not actual avocados.

My first post in this thread mentioned discounting any Mexican restaurant that served guacamole from a jar. So sadly yes I have tasted it from a jar. It is a shame avocado producers allow that filth to be called guacamole.

I'm curious. Where have you seen guacamole in a jar? I've seen it in a container (usually plastic or similar) and the main ingredient is always avocado. Some of these store bought brands aren't bad.

I came back to say that I posted this before I realized a picture had been posted of guacamole in a jar. I've never seen it before. Learn something new every day.

Eh, she's reading WAY too much into mayo, and basing her opinion on a lot of assumptions.

And the only reason so many younger folks hate mayo is because it's hip to do so. Just look at the news articles she cites. That's usually the reason behind the things they hate and love.

When people get older, they become more comfortable with their own opinions and taste.

Now, ask those same haters if they like aioli and most will say yes. Yet it's just basically mayo for rich people.
 
I am 61 and my Mom told me to never eat anything with mayonnaise in it at a hot summer picnic.

My husband and I have always been a healthy weight, active and we have improved our already healthy eating habits every year. We now eat a mostly vegetarian and plant based diet. We will eat mayo once in a while when we want to.

Millennials must be eating a lot of other fattening foods since I have read articles and that they are on track to be the fattest generation.

Overweight should not be the new normal weight.
 
If you love mayo try Japanese mayo. But buy it from an Asian grocery store. The same brand that they sell in an American grocery store is a bit different than the one sold in Asian grocery stories.

I also love the mayo they serve with fries in the Netherlands.

Yes, i always loved stopping at the stands in Amsterdam to get a cone of fries with "mayo". On a more recent visit they were offering the mayo in several flavours! The original mayo is more like a tartar sauce than a traditional mayo, IMO. We have a sizable Dutch community here in Toronto, so I have been able to find it here at a store specializing in Dutch products and foodstuffs.
 
I don't use a lot of mayo, mainly for tuna salad. Anyway, I thought of this thread today when I was at Kroger. I was just about out of Mayo and I went to the condiment aisle. That's where I usually get it, but it's been almost a year. To my surprise there was no mayo anywhere in the aisle. It turns out they moved it to the salad dressing aisle which was adjacent. But for a minute I thought millennials had taken over Kroger. :eek:
 
I have two millennial daughters. Older one cannot stand mayo, or anything that has mayo in it. Younger one loves it. She is the one who will ask for it for her burger if none is provided. Go figure.
 
It sounds like we have a few millennials in this thread!

Mayo or subsitute on anything is disgusting.

Pretty strong words to describe a condiment. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I think "disgusting" might be a little over the top!! :(

Also, rather egregious for meer opinion.

I remembered another way I like mayo. I make a dip for artichokes that is made of mayo, some mustard and a few drops of worchestershire.

or soy sauce instead of worchestershire.

Try asparagus drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with parmesan, pop in the oven on a baking tray until al dente.

That and ketchup I cannot stand. Now with kids I sometimes have to get it out of the fridge and put it on their plates. Before I would not even like it on the table.
