What is It with the Chinese and Mayonnaise? Tired of ads?

Everytime I go to a store and ask for something that they don't have, they always recommend mayonnaise instead.

Perhaps we should start calling them Chinnaise.

The Japanese, too. I once saw a pizza that was mayonnaise, tuna, and corn. They like it on all kinds of stuff.

Yeah, I encountered a lot of that. It was pretty gross. I tried to avoid it when I could, but sometimes they snuck it into my food items.

That's not true! I hate mayonaise!

I've seen fast food places put mayonaise on hot dogs and hamburgers. One of the reasons I stay away from them.

Yes Eurocommies have mayonnaise with their pommes frites. And with their moules/mussels too.

Big hairy deal- Brits have Chinese and Indian curry sauce on them and the French Canadians have them with poutine (would the Russians have them with Putin?).

It could be worse- they could be served up with Velveeta.

Barf bold.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

It's a Belgian tradition to have mayonnaise with chips. As for other European nations, I haven't a clue. I've tried it a few times, and it's not bad, but I prefer a spicy BBQ dip or tomato ketchup.

Big deal!

The canadians eat their salted french fries with vinegar

Now that is just silly...


Addition: Yes, I love mayonnaise. I love everything that tastes good. I've tasted the fries with vinegar - and they weren't that bad actually But then again, they were Harvey's fries (which are the absolute top IMHO - the fries are breaded before they are fried )

Put an end to popups!

Every food should have mayo on it. It's really that good.

I've been trying for years to introduce the continental concept of mayo on chips to Britain, but the population here simply don't seem to grasp the concept. Retards.

Not with moules that's a mustard/vinaigre based dip.

A very good idea btw, as the vinnegar will cut the fat.
In belgium, lemon is added to mayo which gives a similar effect.

Just mentioning once again that fries/chips are a Belgian invention
And they are called frieten !!!!

Mayonnaise is classically offered with cold meat (beef, mutton), cold fishes or cold seafoods (crab, crayfish, scampi) in small quantity. It is also mixed in a salad made of several vegetables (Macédoine).

Mayonnaise on anything makes me vomit. The only exception is when used very sparingly with tuna to offset the fishy taste a bit.

I've noticed that mayonaisse can mean different things to different nationalities, although the basic stuff is usually there.
